I love you so much, machine

On Monday I decided that I would do some very very basic sewing. Kai insists on sleeping with a blankie every night and since it's been so hot, we decided that giving him a sheet "blankie" would be a better option. So I took a queen sized sheet and cut it down to his size. All I needed to do was hem the edges. Doesn't sound hard, does it?? It resulted in one of the most frustrating hours ever! At first all was well, but then I ran into problems and had to take some things apart. Unfortunately, I apparently didn't know how to put everything back together. I got out my sewing maching manual and decided that the illustrations were completely worthless. Then I made a call to my mother-in-law who had some good suggestions. During this process, Kai was getting impatient with the machine. He wanted it to "go, go, go!" I told him the machine wasn't working. He looked at me and told me that the machine "was sad". He also said that he would "make it happy". While on the phone I stop to hear "I love you so much machine" and turn to see him giving the machine hugs. When I laughed I was told "Momma no laugh". From his face, you knew this was serious business! And then he would begin again, "I love you so much machine." Way too sweet! Kai didn't even want to eat his lunch or take his nap because he wanted to "work on the machine". If only love cured all.....oh wait, for my 2 year old, it does!!

*Note: The machine says Singer Simple. I beg to differ!!
