devilgrrlI totally zoned on posting this. As I've mentioned before, I've started knitting. My first project is a scarf for elliott that's a little over halfway done. So, Saturday, we brought out the knitting to explain to Elliott about what they were and that he should be careful if he sees them because they are sharp and they are not toys. We wanted to make sure we talked to him about this as my knitting needles are purple, could look like drumsticks to a small child, and Elliott sometimes tends to think everything in the house is a toy and is his to grab and play with.
Anyhow, so he was sitting and watching me knit. I let feel the scarf and was showing him how you make the stitches and he was getting more and more excited. So he says to me that when he's bigger, he wants to knit too! So I told him that I'd see if I could find a kid's knitting kit online (no luck thus far, but if anyone knows of a good one for ages 4+, I'd be very grateful). Besides that he's so excited about it, I think it would great in helping him with his hand/eye co-ordination, as well as his concentration skills and patience.
That said, here's a picture he drew this week-end:
(This will open in a new window.)
That's pretty much all that's going on here that I want to write about now. I'll update about school and other not fun crap later. Blah.
