Brooke has been taking sewing lessons this summer from a lady in my parents ward ( church congregation ). when Brooke and I went to the fabric store to choose some material for her to make herself some pajama pants Will went wild over the Spiderman fabric. Brooke, as the unselfish girl that she is immediately told Will that she would make him some pajamas as her first project and that she would make them for him by his birthday!
Brooke put off her own project and worked hard once a week at her sewing lesson, in order to complete Will's pajamas on time for his birthday party.
Will made Brooke feel badly when he saw her making them at our house. ( Brooke's teacher comes to our house and has now even offered to do her lesson for free because someone gave her lessons for free when she was Brooke's age. ) Will said, " Those are not pants!" As he saw pieces of fabric partly sewn, not looking anything like pants at first. Brooke was patient, but she was sad. I didn't blame her, she was being so kind to think of him first! Brooke didn't change her mind, she was even more excited to finish now... As soon as the pajamas were finished Will loved them! And Brooke learned a great lesson about boys...they just can't visualize crafts as much sometimes.
PS. The " Bellamie Blanket" that Will is sitting on in the picture has been claimed by Will as his new special blanket. It's no longer mine....and that's okay...I don't blame him for wanting it every night.
