A 10 year old boy around the house leads to some very interesting & amusing things, like this toothpaste dragon on my bathroom vanity. We also wrestle with keeping the child clear of "little boy dirt". Clothes & clean are just not of any particular significance nor importance for him. This is an image of what his hand typically looks like upon return from the sk8park.
We regularly remind him to take a shower & "put on clean clothes". One night, as London climbed into our bed for evening devotions, prayer & tickle time, Tom noticed something peculiar. He asked our son, "How many shirts are you wearing?"....5... Each time we had told him to put on clean clothes, he had simply added another layer. We had been so busy running in different directions we hadn't followed up on his habits...lesson learned !
