Executing a Vision

As an assignment for school, Dexter had to decorate a "train car" to be part of the classroom's holiday decorations. When Ben initiated the project with Dex, he asked how he would like to decorate it - markers, stickers, colored paper? Dex has his own idea - he wanted to cover it in candies left over from Halloween.


Dex picked out all the candies of the same type and when Daddy suggested that they glue them on, Dex insisted that he should tape them on. And so he did. We were really impressed with Dexy's ability to come up with an idea, figure out how it could be implemented, and then actually execute it all by himself. Maybe it was just a vehicle for using a lot of tape - he does love to tape. Either way...
