King for a Day

Grayson came up to me the other day and asked if I could make him a crown to be a king.  It was random as we hadn't even been talking about royalty in any way, shape, or form, but I had to oblige him.  I found a cardboard box and cut out a {very} rudimentary crown & sword which I covered with aluminum foil.  He wore his brown blanket as his "cape," but only wanted to wear it around his waist-more like a kilt.

This kid cracks me up!  Beckham wanted in on the fun, so when Zac saw my sword, he made a much better one for Beckham and the boys had a couple sword fights.  I referred to them both as King throughout the day and told them I was their royal servant.  I also kept singing Tom Petty's song, "It's Good to be King."  Grayson would get this embarrassed smile on his face and say, "Mom, I'm just Grayson.  Pretending to be a king!"
