In honor of Thanksgiving I wanted to post about Mason's latest obsession. It's no secret that Mason can be a tiny bit obsessive about things that he likes. Over the years he has obsessed about many of the things that most little boys go crazy over like garbage trucks, trains, dinosaurs, dragons, transformers, animals, and legos. But every once in a while Mason will become enthralled with the most random things. The last few weeks this has definitely been the case as he has had a great fascination with.....cornucopias. Yes, the horn of plenty is Mason's current object of desire. His interest was piqued when it showed up as a bonus word on his spelling list then one cool cornucopia school art project and he had spiraled into an all out obsession. After days of printing and drawing pictures of cornucopias Mason decided he wanted a "real" one. With the help of his enabling grandma he created a very impressive stuffed cornucopia. He now sleeps with his cornucopia and last night when we asked Mason what he wanted for Christmas his response was, "Maybe like a cornucopia decoration or something." I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. Gotta love this kid's unique personality.
