My friend Talia made this rocket for Rhett for his birthday. We all love it! Even Mezmur gets excited to point out the "boooon" (moon). Thanks Talia! 
He loves his cat. The last thing he told me last night was, "I really love my kitty." Then, he fell asleep with his arm around his new kitty. 
The challenge with the pants? Where is that tail going to go? I decided on a large button hole for the tail. 
Just when I was thinking..."I haven't done enough sewing lately"...
Making this doll reminded me that I want to make a blond doll for Mezmur and an Ethiopian boy doll for Rhett.
The Doozers just need to practice...
We have been watching one episode of Fraggle Rock before bed over the last several weeks. It has become a fun family tradition. It has helped with the bedtime transition, which can be hard for our almost 5-year-old.
We have all fallen for the Fraggels with their lovable hippie personalities, the large huggable Gordes, the hardworking Doozers, the Trash Heap advice, and the Fraggle music.
Tonight we plan on sitting down as a family and talking about how we can help the people of Haiti. I asked Rhett this morning how he thought he could help the people of Haiti. Without skipping a beat, Rhett said, "Oh, I know. They probably need money! I've been saving a lot of money (maybe $.80) in my red treasure box! I could send them that!" He ran to his room and proudly showed me what he had in his box. I was very proud of him. I do not want to shelter our children from the suffering of the world. I want them to feel empowered to help others who are suffering.
Rhett is especially proud of that hole in the scarf...he sees the lace pattern I'm doing and he is really proud of his lace pattern. This is the scarf he is making for Mezmur. He has been working on it for a year...it may be done for her third birthday.
