What a six-year-old packs for a trip

Since we’re doing What’s in Your Purse today, I’ll show you what Charming packed for me last week.  I was throwing together things to take to the Mighty Summit and here’s what he contributed.  He brought it over to my desk, all shoved in a little plastic make-up container and said, “Here mommy, I packed this for your trip.  It’s full of everything you’ll need in California.”

stuff for a trip

Here’s what you’re looking at:

– A pedometer.

– 2 eyeliners, one white and one sparkly purple from Sephora

– 1 mechanical homework pencil

– 1 length of yarn in case I wanted to play Cat’s Cradle with my friends

– Charming’s personal hair comb

– binder clip labeled, appropriately “Crap” from a friend

I don’t have to tell you how much I worship the kid, right?  Downright adorable.  If I could only live inside a 6-year-old’s brain.

    That’s perfect, everything you could need while away for a weekend! Who needs a change of clothes, certainly not a 6yo boy.

    • Allison :

      No. Especially not one who is perpetually covered in dirt.

  5. maile :

    that is SO ADORABLE.

    • Allison :

      I know, huh? I love that he has my back covered with two kinds of eyeliner.
