Not in honor of Chinese New Year (though it is coming up soon) but just because, Sister rushes in earlier this week and declares she wants to make a Chinese Dragon “that’s big so a person can wear it.” We scoured the internet for ideas but most designs were for small handpuppets. Finally, Sister concluded, “Well, we’ll just have to make our own… I guess??? How could I refuse such sweet hopefulness Mama wouldn’t give up on the project. It took all day in a series of cutting and painting and testing and cutting and taping but we finished in time to surprise Dad with a special twisty, wiggly, twirly dance.
super wild! that’s too cute – thanks for sharing – take care:)

[...] Kim C. over at Life In A Shoe wrote a lovely post titled “Are you a fun mom?” It’s a question I’ve pondered more since Brother entered the … uhm, terrific two’s. His budding willfulness has prompted more raising of the voice, more rules and more times I’ve uttered the phrase, “Mommy needs some alone time now.” But in between “Please don’t sit on the cat.” and “Stop hitting your Sister” we do have fun. We don our bathing suits in the middle of winter and ’swim’ around the house before settling on our ‘beach’ in the living room. We make huge tents then sit inside reading stories by flashlight. We spend the day making a dragon costume or 3 little pig puppets so we can surpise Daddy. Around here there are only two rules about jumping on the bed. “Be safe” and “Not after it’s made up”. We fudge on the second one alot. [...]
