(not so) Sneaky Max

A few weeks ago, Max found some scissors in our drawer in the kitchen. Ella was asleep and I was sitting on the couch. Max looked at me and said, “Mom, do you want to take a nap? Mom, go take a nap in your room!”. So I said, “Why Max?” and he said, “I want to play with these scissors.”

Later on, I helped him with the scissors because I wanted to see what he wanted to do. He went straight to the garage (as if he had been planning it for a while) and he got out Cory's electrical tape. Then he cut three long pieces and put them on the railings of the stairs down into the garage. (On the vertical parts, so there were three vertical black stripes in a row.) Then he did the same thing on the other side of the staircase. He told me they were “sounds.” It took me a while, but I finally figured out that it was from Blues Clues. Steve drew a symbol representing a sound in the Handy Dandy Notebook that looked just like that. I thought that was pretty clever.
