Max's Umbrellas

Last week when we had a few rainy days we discovered that our umbrella had gone MIA. Max was disappointed about not having an umbrella to use and took matters into his own hands.

Apparently for Max an umbrella is not so much about keeping you dry as it is having something to put over your head.

Here he is with a plastic orange cone "umbrella".


When he couldn't find his orange cone the next morning he found what he considered a suitable replacement. He seriously would not get in the truck to take Reed to school without an "umbrella".


I love to see how satisfied he was with his solution. Max has always been a "problem solver". It is not uncommon for him to be upset and crying about something and then stop mid whine and, "Oh, I know what to do." I may not understand his thought process, but I adore his efforts.
