I hate to assume....but I can imagine what happened to his beloved pencil case. It's somewhat surprising to me that thievery happens at such a young age. Fortunately, I was able to make a new pencil case for Pierce. I told him he could pick out any material in the store. You know what he wanted? Another outer space pencil case. And so it was.
Here's his pencil case, stuffed to the gills and bulging with newly purchased crayons and scissors and erasers - Pierce really likes to fill his case up!
Readers, have you ever had someone take something dear to you?
I am happy that you were able to make another space case for him. Sad that someone would take his.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good one, a lot better than the ones in the store. Kids would steal stuff like that back in the 60s when I was in school, most of them grew out of it and I guess others got good at it.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they had outer space material for a second one.
ReplyDeleteSad to think someone took his beloved pencil case - nice that you included him in the new fabric choice. :)
ReplyDeleteOh poor Pierce that is very sad and sadly there was not a parent who noticed that it was not their child's pencil case and sent it back. It may turn up but I love the new one. Great job. B
ReplyDeleteYou're a good mama to make another. :)
ReplyDeleteI would not be at all surprised to learn it was stolen. Kids these days rarely get any moral foundation to build upon, and there are limited consequences to them too.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to learn that not everyone is honest, especially hard at such a young age!
ReplyDeletegood thing he has a handy mom to save the day. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great that they had the same fabric; since it's one he liked!
ReplyDeleteSomething dear to me: I had my first painting here at work hung on the wall. When I went on maternity leave they reconstructed our walls. I'm pretty sure my first painting made its way to the trash. :(
AWESOME! That old one was just "lost in space"...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYes... a boyfriend... but that was a loooong time ago :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I can see why someone would want to take this from Pierce. It is super cute. Glad you were able to make a new one for him. I've had jewelry stolen....it is painful. ;(
ReplyDeleteLisa-I'm so sorry that happened! It really sucks, and it is sad that unfortunately kids do steal at even such a young age. Amy had her coat stolen when she was in the 3rd grade. She took it off at recess and when she went to get it, it was gone. I could not understand the parents of the child who took it though-I mean, if Amy came home with a coat that wasn't hers I'd want some answers. I guess this kid's parents either were too apathetic or clueless to notice, but it made me so mad!
ReplyDeleteI love Pierce's new pencil case though-awesome job!!
Way to go Mom.
ReplyDeletewow this is so cool and I like the idea it is unique, which is why his first one can't run around in public, do hope it is being loved as Pierce loved it.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got to make him another one he liked.
ReplyDeleteDuring my short stint as a fifth grade teacher, stealing was a constant problem. I usually knew who was doing it, but by strange coincidence it seemed that the children who stole had parents who didn't care if they did.
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute! Too bad his went missing. That must have been so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteIt's not dear to me but for awhile tractor weights were disappearing in this area. They think they have finally found the thief. Disgusting when it's one of our own in a small farming community.
ReplyDeleteLisa, You are such a talented young woman.. You are a fabulous mother, a runner (who takes care of herself physically), a part-time employee, creative lady --who can do so much for her family, the finances, and herself.... I'm impressed. (You can pay me later!!!! ha)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
That's sad that someone may have stolen the pencil case. I'm glad Pierce was able to find the material to make another he liked.
ReplyDeleteIt is really sad that kids would steal at such a young age but I'm glad he has a new one....mom to the rescue!
ReplyDeleteMy Hope Chest was stolen from our storage unit. It had all my wedding jewelry in it.
