sweet and sour

Cole's fascination with claws has not yet reached alarming levels, but where he gets his inspiration is puzzling.

He is enamored with the movie/cartoon 'Madagascar'. I have not watched more than five minutes of the movie, but from what I have seen, the lion character is not what I would consider ferocious. At least not when compared with cartoon heavy hitters like Shere Khan (Jungle Book) or Mufasa (Lion King). No, Alex the lion--as voiced by Ben Stiller--is his totem.

So he asked me once again to make him claws and he was not to be placated by over sized claws that would bend when he scratched at stuff. He seemed to be satisfied by this design, even though he still was not able to use the claws to shred the walls and furniture.
This photo also lets me show off some nice pink pyjamas we scored from our friends Bindi and Tim. Cora is quite pleased with them.

i have seen madagascar like 20 billion times...ok that might be exagerating a bit. but it is 2yr olds favorite right now. we bought the second one just to mix it up a little.

are you reading him things like "the mouse and the motorcycle" and "kavick the wolf dog" and other important child / animal bonding literature?
