The Daryl Show!

Daryl had a pretty awesome day yesterday. I finally got him to a sewing project meeting, AND his new glasses came in the mail. He was walking on cloud 9!

Last year Daryl discovered he really liked the buymanship project in 4-H. It teaches you how to be a smart shopper, and you get to model your outfits at the fair! He loves to shop, and he loves clothes. It was a total 4-H win.

At the Fashion Show he noticed the youth who were modeling the clothes that they had made. He has always been fascinated with my sewing machine, so he let me know he wanted to do that at next fair. He has been enrolled in sewing all year, but making the meeting has been a challenge.

We finally had a free night when the meeting was happening. He almost started jumping up and down he was so excited! They made a cleaning cloth, and with the help of all the sewing leaders, his first sewing project was a success! He was so happy he told Purl all about sewing when we got home. She happily listened to him talk about sewing for a half hour!

All the leaders complimented him on how well he did for his first time sewing. He let me know in the car his secret.
"I'm probably so good at it because it's construction like dad does, and crafts like you do! That is why I'm built to be a good sewer!"
He was so excited to wear his glasses to school today that he had to put on his nice clothes! 

I kept hearing, "Slow down, slow down, slow down." Not looking forward to teaching him how to drive!
