Shrink-a-ma-doodle

In an effort to complete all the tasks that I must in a day, I include T-Man in as many as possible. This way he learns new life skills, we spend A LOT of time together, AND I accomplish my to-do list. With Eric out of town, this has been a must all weekend.

I had a house-warming gift that needed to be shrink-wrapped. T-Man was tutored in wrapping the shrink-wrap around the gift, bow-tying, and then heating with a hair dryer to make it shrink. HE LOVED DOING IT! In fact, I was unable to get him to stop so the gift even began to shrink/melt. When he finished he squealed,

"THIS IS THE BEST SHRINK-A-MA-DOODLE I HAVE EVER USED!"

The Cat in the Hat cartoon!!)
