wayne darling

yesterday, max stunned me with deciding of his own volition to make a paper tshirt for cleo. of course, it was way too small, so i suggested i use it as a cuff / bangle style, which pleased max (phew).  moving onwards and upwards from this idea, as max does, he decided to make a tee for himself. he wanted me to help him measure himself, but i suggested he use one of his t-shirts to help with the design. he loved this idea, but was ultimately devastated that the sleeves didn't work out, and he couldn't put his arms through without ripping the staples out. all of this aside, i loved his creativity, and am secretly thrilled with the idea of having a fashion designing son - his generation's wayne cooper, perhaps? (bloody aaron, though... reminded max that i have a never-used sewing machine tucked away... all very well for him to suggest this, from the distance and safety of his donga!)

splurged (shhhh) on some 'ecco' shoes today... like walking on little clouds, i tells ya!
