The One Where I Can’t Come Up With a Title

Baby Monkey loves to make things.

He loves Legos and blocks and Tinker Toys and anything that allows him to construct.

This includes construction paper and tape.

The child uses copious amounts of construction paper and tape.

He’s made me a purse, a wallet, decorations for Tiny’s room, new dishes for the kitchen.

All out of construction paper and tape.

And if this kid doesn’t get a job at Boeing when he grows up, after all the paper airplanes he’s made, I’ll be shocked.

Yet, nothing…nothing could have prepared me for the creations he came up with this weekend.

Imagine, sitting at the kitchen table, going through the mail when this walks into the room:


Apparently, he was a fancy lady wearing her bikini, sunglasses, and fancy lady hat ready for a day at the beach.

Construction paper isn’t just for making stuff anymore.

It’s for wearin’!

Later, he came up as Batman…complete with Bat slippers, Bat ears, and the Bat symbol.

The bathing suit he created for boys was hysterical, but considering that’s all he came upstairs wearing, at one point, I think I’ll keep that picture for just the fam.

So, pardon my lack of a title, but he renders his Mama speechless sometimes.

He’s creative.

He’s hysterical.

He’s all mine.

  3. My youngest is the same way. He is always hiding away my scissors and tape and I can never find them when I need them. He make airplanes out of sporks and straws from school. His 2nd grade teacher has to put his creations in time out because he’s always preoccupied. I am constantly amazed at the creativity but it is excessive. He better do something with that talent when he’s older! So I know exactly what you’re experiencing. šŸ™‚

  4. Haha, I just love this! I think the funniest part is the “bat slippers”. I didn’t know batman was known for slippers. šŸ™‚
