January 15, 2009 by Michelle Hinckley |

It’s late. 10:00pm. Time to turn in. I shuffle around the house doing my bedtime routine…start the dishwasher, lock doors, re-tuck little boys in. But wait…what’s this on Tani’s floor? Tomorrow’s outfit laid out complete with socks, pants, jacket, shirt, and even his Batman cape. Such painstaking detail to place each sock at the bottom of each pant leg.

Let me be clear that never has it been in my parenting repertoire that the next day’s outfit be chosen and laid out or even thought about. Witnessing original ideas in action are what make black permanent marker on my new white faux leather wing chair so worth it. I marvel at my son’s creativity!

    Hi Michelle,

    Your mom was up to visit in December. I ask her how you and your family were doing and she gave me a card of the boys and your blogspot on it so I could see for myself. Love all of your creations and I can’t believe how big the boys are. I haven’t even seen Naish yet.

    LOL! That is awesome. Can you imagine being inside his mind? “Cape? Check. Socks? Check!”

    And I hope you were successful in getting that black marker out. Ouch!
