Jake has been working hard the past few weeks creating paper masterpieces. Using tape (plenty of it!) and paper, he created a gun with eight or so batteries. Batteries?! Sure, why not? He cut out a large comb and then asked me to put it on cardboard. I did. He used it for a couple of days.
One night Viva called from Idaho and she was very upset because she had lost her purple hairbow on the plane. I assured her (like her father already had) that we would purchase another one. It wasn't a big deal. (Kara had anticipated just such a thing happening and so she didn't pack any of our favorites from Viva's hairbow collection.) What does this have to do with Jake? Well the first thing the morning after Viva's call he made her a new hairbow--from purple construction paper. It's quite pretty, but I'm not sure about his plan to tape it on her head.
Jake's ultimate paper project is his knight's outfit. Bentley has been trying to figure out how to make a suit of armor from paper but has been stymied. Jake's approach to design is more hands-on. He just starts cutting and taping and creating. He may one day have an paper art show of his very own! (Does that mean we have to keep all his creations?! He's very prolific.)
