a bag for the big boy

We started out with a shiny polyester satin camouflage print.We ended up with linen. Close call.

I rather suspect that he chose this because he knew I would like it but I also know for sure that he likes it so thats ok. I never thought he would want the spots on the outside though.

This boy of mine is very opinionated. He even chose the top stitch thread.

Then he inisited that it be big enough for his Macbook Air.

He doesnt have a Macbook Air.

He says its a matter of time and given that he will have the bag for, like, ever it needs to fit.

We compromised and made it to fit his Tintin book collection. I suspect that he will like Tintin for, like, ever too. Win.

He then had me make the straps too long so that when he is fully grown I can lengthen them. Yup.

Nice bag. Love the pocket contrasts. Bag and owner certainly way too cool for school. Will it fit his baby macAir? When he has one of course ...

Have I ever seen anything more adorable? I don't think so. Although your new baby photos are coming pretty close.

Those photos were beautifully captured. I'm sure that your husband is using a first class camera for this.
