Yesterday, Levi woke at 4am. Now I can be fairly tolerant of 5am, and I am really tolerant at 6am, but 4am is asking a bit much of me. He woke up and I growled at him, so next thing I knew I was waking up to get ready for work and Levi was still sleeping soundly beside me. I got up and did all the regular morning things. I kept going, until I really needed him to be awake and at 7am I finally had to go and wake him! He got up and started his breakfast and about five minutes before I had to leave, he pipes up;
"Mum, I need to be a hero today at school for free dress day! Can you make me into Leif?"
So now I had five minutes to turn Levi into Leif of Deltora. It was one of those moments that you laugh about afterwards but at the time is a little less than funny. Anyway, I grabbed a pool toy. It was a diving ring that you could snap open and closed and fit around Levi's waist. Then with aluminum foil created a silver belt over the top of the dive ring. Now I had to find seven gems. I struggled. I found five but soon realized that seven might be stretching it. I told Levi that he was going to be Leif part way through his quest for the seven gems. He would be Leif with five gems. Then with clear packing tape, I sealed it all.
So here he is. He was very excited and the belt has made it's way to the dress up box. He wore his new special shirt from his Dad as well. So his day was complete. Mine? Well, it started late!
