I have to show you this!

A while back, Mom asked what Caleb would like for Christmas this past year. We had been reading the Harry Potter books and after each book, we watch the movie. Well, I talked to Caleb and it turned out that he liked the red sweater at the end of the first movie (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) the one Harry wears when he faces Professor Quirrell with Voldemort in his head. So Mom and I did some research on the sweater, I made some measurements from a favorite sweatshirt and she knit it for him. Here is her interpretation of that sweater. Last Friday Caleb got to wear it for the first time - it's been warm around here and even when it got cold, I won't let him wear it school on days that he has PE or on the day he has Art. Since he didn't have school last Friday and it was really cold, he finally got to wear it. As you can see, the sweater works really well for a nice posed picture. (I have no idea what was off to the right that he's staring at - most of the posed pictures have him staring off to the right for some reason.)
It's also fun to dance in!
And since he's seven, it's important that the sweater work well for being a monster and as you can see, he was able to scare off the dog in it!
