Last Friday....

Last Friday Kyler and I were downstairs going through a few totes. I was looking for something in particular and Kyler was "just looking", he got into my tote that has some pieces of material in and a few patterns and things. There was a piece of material that I had gotten 2 year ago. It was a sports piece of material and we latched on to it. He wanted to use it as a blanket. So I told him that I had gotten it to make him something. So he wanted me to make him a blanket! I showed him a pattern of PJ pants that I had and told him I could make him pair of those. He got so excited and wanted to go make them right now! We went upstairs and got out my sewing maching and everything we needed. While I was getting my machine out he was looking over the instructions. When I came back out he said, "are you sure you can do this?" Laughing I told him yes, I could make them. I started to cut out the pattern and then the put it on the material and cut it out, again he asked me if I could really do it. From start to finish it took me about 2 hours and in that 2 hours, I think he asked me 5 times if I could really do it. When I got the legs sewn and pretty much put together, I wanted him to try them on before I did the waist and hem the legs. He kept telling me they were too big and didn't fit. When he took them off and handed them to me he said (under his breath) "I sure hope you know what your doing". Well, I got them finished and he was so excited he wore them the entire day, and this was at 10:30am!!
To top off the day, while I was sewing, I gave him some grapes to eat. He ate most of them and then when he was finished eating he took the rest of them and squished them on the table and the floor. When I finished sewing and saw what he had done, I made him clean them up. He of course didn't want to and complained for about 5 minutes before doing it. I went to put my sewing machine away and before I came back out I could hear him thowing up in the garbage. This kid has the worst gag reflex. He was throwing up because they were "all squishing and mushing" accoring to him. Well, how to you think they got that way??? So I gave him a paper towel to pick up the rest and he managed to get the job done.

Well I'm glad that you could really do it :) He must be related to me, every time Braden is doing something I ask him if he knows what he doing. It drives him nuts...I think that's why I ask.

Those are cute, leslie! I wish I knew how to sew. He is getting so big. It sounds like he got his gag reflex from his uncle Lee!
