The Tape-Gun Monster


Of course it seems like you can know for months in advance that you are moving, but you are still scrambling at the last minute to get it all packed and taken care of. I've been packing a lot while Joss is napping or sleeping in the evenings, but every now and I can pack a little while he's playing with something else.
However, I have had to stop taping the boxes while he's around, because he does not like the tape-gun at all. I'll do it really slow and as quiet as possible, but he just gets this look on his face like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT THING??" I don't know if he thinks it's gonna get me, him or if the noise just bothers him, but he gets very upset when I tape stuff with it. If he's just touching it or looking at it and it doesn't make the sounds, he's fine... but when the Tape-Gun Monster rears its ugly head he starts screaming. It's so sad, but so funny too!

He is helping me pack one of his boxes with some of his goodies in it :)

awww what a little sweetie. He has his first nemesis. :) I love it when you tell us little stories like that and it makes me very glad that you have a blog because I might not get to hear all of the little details otherwise.:) So thank you for taking the time to tell us that story in the midst of the moving chaos! :)
Love you!

I can just picture it... I too love the cute little stories.
Moving is tough though, isn't it?
It must be a thousand times harder with a baby. Keep up the good work!
