Joseph Scissorhands

Let's get right to our biggest news: Scissors. Are. Off. The. Hook!!!!! Fans, Our Hero is crazy for the scissors. The craze all started with Marco. Oh that Marco! Marco's mom reported that Teacher Miss Amanda had reported to her that Marco was crazy for the scissors at school, and that after they got Marco a pair to cut with at home, he went around asking if he could cut this? This? This? This? Ha! Sunday, Marco braved having Joe (and Julie) over despite our recent spate of pneumonia (we had been fever-free for over a day at that point), and toward the end of the play date, Marco's scissors appeared. Joe must have been thinking, "Dude. Mom and Dad have so been holding out on me because look at THIS!" Scissors were promised after nap, when we went to Target, and Fans, no joke: Julie opens the door when she heard Joe wake up, and he's lying with the head at the foot of the bed, and he says "I want scissors." Ha! Scissors were procured (along with a pair for a friend), and now, Joe can be heard chirping, "I want to cut," morning, noon, and night. He wakes up talking about it, goes to school noting that he will cut upon arriving home, and walks in the door still talking about cutting. These pictures are from the inaugural cutting session. Julie impressed him by folding the paper in half and cutting out a heart and then peering through the cutout at Joe. Joe hearts scissors. We heart Joe.
