The bracelet

Shortly after Mya was born, Roger mentioned that he couldn't wait for the day when Mya would make him a friendship bracelet. It's one of the perks to having a little girl. He is a proud dad and said he'd love to wear it.

Today was that day.

Yesterday I took Mya shopping for some much needed craft supplies and we stocked up on buttons, sparkles, stickers, paper, glue, paint, and more. Mya was eager and excited and she exclaimed, "Oh mommy, I NEED that!" at almost everything in the craft aisle. She was most excited for a new, special item that we added to our shopping cart: a gigantic box of beads and some bracelet strings.

This morning we sat in her craft room and she choose the colour of her dad's bracelet (red) and all the beads. I watched as she patiently added each bead to the bracelet and carefully pulled it all the way to the bottom.

I knew Roger wouldn't believe that she made the bracelet herself, so I took this little video:
 

As of lunch time today, Roger is sporting a beaded bracelet on his wrist (it's tied on so he can't take it off). When he got home for supper Mya went running, "Daddy, you wearing your bracelet?"

He pretended to look surprised as he picked her up. "Oh? I don't know. Let's check" he laughed.

Yup. Still there. And he loves it.
