To look for a dragon! What an adventure for Jack this afternoon. After church, he was upstairs changing his clothes and he came down dressed in gray sweatpants, his Neewollah sweatshirt (tucked into his sweatpants) and wearing his little bug backpack that he won on the Easter Egg train.
He then announced he was a woodsman, hence the sweatshirt tucked into his sweatpants, and that he was leaving for Mexico to go look for a dragon. Charlie was not coming with him, because Charlie was going to grandma’s house for four nights and then Jack would go pick him up. What does a woodsman take to Mexico? Well, the list is long…
- 4 popsicles
- 2 lookouts (Lego windows). He needed two because it is easy to lose stuff in Mexico.
- 4 candy bars
- binoculars
- a gun, because he’s going to shoot deer from deer stands. However, he is slightly confused about the nature of deer stands because he then asked how the deer get up into the deer stands.
- a chair, for the car so he won’t have to sit on the floor
- a wind-up penguin to scare away the deer because they don’t like the noise it makes
- the shot from his doctor’s kit, because if you fall down you might get scratched
- strawberry, green bean, lemon soup – stored in his tackle box
- a few pieces of his train track and two trains, plus a toy car. All to play with in his tent during his nap.
His dragon finding adventure is based on a great book Aunt Regina got him for Christmas called “My Father’s Dragon.” It was the first chapter book that we read to him and I love how he is using it, plus his imagination, to come up with his own adventures.
