Crafting with B Episode 1: Punchy Punches


This is a pretty short post, the video speaks for itself. I'll just add backstory, as this blog is, "All about B."

Two weeks ago, B accompanied me down to my craft room.  B always finds "projects" to do at his little table while I'm working...projects that always, inevitably, involve requiring his mother's help. So, rather than sewing, I ended up working with B on an insidious rubber band loom. (Thanks Grandma...) We were diligently trying to make his father a lovely rubber-band bracelet. B is so sweet, I can't help myself. 

"Make Daddy a surprise? Sure Buddy, I'm game."  I'm apparently also a sucker.

While working on our own little piece of fabulous, I realize that I am incapable of understanding the directions. Important steps are missing, I'm not sure how to get from A to E, and that doesn't even LOOK like the loom. I gave up and turned to Youtube for guidance. Mistake. MISTAKE. 

I've created a monster. 

Since that fateful day, while B works on his projects, he narrates...everything. Then he insists that I record his instructions, (to be sent to Grandma, and "everyone we know.")

Today, he promised several times if I let him in the craft room, he would be quiet as a mouse. Just at his own desk, workin' on his projects. You know, the ones for his job...the important one. 

As he's punching away with his beloved stamps, he tells me, "Please, PLEASE, tell me you have your phone. I really need this to be a video. Tell me you have your phone?"

Mommy had her phone, in case you had any questions on how not to use a paper punch, they will be answered in short order. Enjoy!
