Connor earned his red belt last week, which means the red-brown belt went up on the wall for display.
I’ve told Connor I’m proud of him for earning his red belt. He says he’s proud of himself, too.
🥰🥋👊🏻

Twitter Update: Schooled
Today, my son asked me about the Tsar Bomba. I’d never heard of it before, but he knew it holds the Guinness World Record for the most powerful bomb ever detonated. https://t.co/YRyKP6l2V6
Twitter Update: Mending Day
Way back before I started sewing, @relysh was generous enough to make this cushion for my son. I’m only now having to mend it, after eight years of kid abuse. That’s pretty solid.
Status: Burned Out
A free online version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) rated me at serious risk of impending job burnout. I can’t say that surprises me.
Lazer Pointer Thersday
Connor told me last night that he wanted to make this shirt in the morning; I gave him the OK, with the caveat that most of his markers are washable.
When I came downstairs this morning, I had completely forgotten about our shirt conversation — until I saw him wearing his creation. (I didn’t have the heart to mention his spelling errors after he’d already made the shirt). He managed to find a black marker that wasn’t washable, but he could only find a red washable one, “so be very careful when you wash this. Maybe put it on delicate.” I attempted to heat-set his t-shirt art by ironing it, so hopefully it doesn’t bleed too much during the course of the day.
I’ve been wanting to play around with screen printing for a while now… Hmm.
I still have no idea where he got the idea for Laser Pointer Thursday.
