And so it begins...

Actually, it began in January, when Lil' Dude was enrolled in an art class and brought home his art projects each week. I had the, "Shit, what am I going to do with all the stuff he brings home?" thought. Fortunately I could put off thinking about it for a while, because he made mostly paintings in his art class, which are pretty much two dimensional and not that hard to store.

In his one day of daycamp today, he brought home a bracelet he made. I shudder to think of all the crafts he'll fill the house with when he starts preschool in a couple weeks.

My strategy is to take photos of them and post them here so that he'll have a record of them and maybe won't be too heartbroken to part with them. This one, of his bracelet, is unfortunately a shitty take, what with the low light and out-of-focusness and all. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow in better light.

Both my sweetie and I had had the same idea a few weeks ago, when Lil' Dude went to a barbecue hosted by a local organic market and made this head out of a tomato. We'd both taken photos of it before it became encrusted with fruit flies. It's in the fridge right now, but it looks as though Lil' Dude's finally forgotten about it and we can throw it out soon. I'll dig up those photos in the next couple of days.
