mastering scissors

Please forgive the brevity of this post. We had a spontaneous evening date night in the ER--David got hurt at work, pulled a muscle pretty bad--and I am terribly sleepy now that we are home!

I picked Dennis up from school today and he told me he wasn't quite ready to leave. He was busily coloring an orange beard on Santa Claus. There were scissors lying all over the table and he eventually picked up a pair and began meticulously cutting the lines in Santa's beard (straight vertical lines, parallel, about an inch apart, so they could give Santa a fluttery beard). He showed some excellent scissors skills, so now I'll have to lock up the pairs at home! He's been wrapping various things in Christmas gift wrap every night this week (the dog's toy, a Happy Meal Toy, one of my dirty socks...), and now he'll be able to cut the wrapping paper better since he's had lessons!
