Popcorn Can Head

Giovanni is an extremely independent child.  He's starting to get real upset when someone tries to feed him.

His independence makes for a happy mess.  He's very happy when he gets to feed himself.

When Ansley and I went to Chicago last year we brought my dad back a can of Garrett popcorn.  It's the name of the popcorn and my dad claimed it was the best.

After he and the kids ate all the popcorn he gave the can to Garrett.  We have nerf gun wars in our house.  Garrett has 3 or 4 nerf guns and about 30 nerf bullets.  The can has become a holder for the nerf bullets.

Giovanni found the can one day.  So what does a very independent one year old do with a can like that?  He decided to empty the bullets and put the can on his head.

It's been one of his favorite things to do since.  It even got stuck on his head a few times but this hasn't stopped him.  We don't try to stop him either.   We just let him be happy living in his popcorn can helmet land.

It really doesn't hinder him in what he wants to do.

He wears it when he reads.

He wears it when he watches television (notice the nerf bullets around and behind him that he's dumped for the 50th time).

He even wears it when he's walking. 

Who knew a popcorn can could have so many different uses?
