In a moment of pure golden brilliance, I came up with the idea of using eye stickers to turn kids into 8-eyed spiders when I’m teaching about our arachnid friends. Stickers in hand, I asked my teenage son if he’d be willing to be my guinea pig and then (I was holding my breath when I asked this) let me post his picture on my blog. He said sure.
This, my friends, is one of the many reasons why I love my son so, for not every teen would be so willing to do this. Our very own Spiderman, he is. And don’t you dare do a glasses crack and point out that some would say he looks more like a 10-eyed spider. What he is representing is a nearsighted 8-eyed spider. Gosh.
We looked up during our photo op and saw a huge and very well-placed orbweaver web hanging from the eaves way above us. It’s a sign, I tell you. The spiders approve.
Great picture of your kiddo! You have such a fun loving family!
These kids of ours are tremendously fun to be around, I have to admit. Thanks, Ally!
