belt giveaway *giveaway closed*
February 18th, 2010
Wow! There has been such an amazing response to the boy belt tutorial! I think there must be a lot of boys out there running around with their pants falling down–no more!
To thank you for all your kind words and links I thought I’d giveaway a few of the belts I made, because as you can see they are not keeping any pants up around here. The skinny plaid one and the wider wood grain belt are up for grabs (for a better picture look here). If you’d like to enter tell me a funny story about a little boy you know–a brother, a son, the crazy little boy down the street. There is always one who tried to fly from on top of the refrigerator or covered himself in crisco or skiied down the basement stairs. If you can’t think of a story, just tell me which one you’d like. And if you’d like to be entered twice you can subscribe to my blog (and tell me in your comment) or link to the belt tutorial on your blog or tweet it. Or all three if you’d like, but I’ll only love you more–just 2 entries max per person! I will pick two winners (pick a winner!) on Monday morning, February 22 CST. Good luck!
My 2yr old son J is hilarious. The other day when I picked him up from daycare we had the following conversation:
Me: Did you have a good day?
J: Yes, I’m happy
Me: Why are you happy?
J: Because, because, because I not sad.
Very good reason to be happy I would say.
I would love the plaid belt. J is one of those tall skinny ones who finally fits the waist of his 12-18 month pants while almost needing the length of a 3T.
Our 4 year old son got upset one day because me and our other 2 kids(5 and 2) were playing playdoh, and he wanted us to watch him do a puzzle. So he went in his room and packed 2 pairs of underwear and his leapster and said he was running away, to find a new family. It was so funny, the 5 year old gave him a hug and asked him when he was coming back, and he said “probably Thursday.”
love the woodgrain belt – and I already subscribe – do I still get 2 entries? :)
my son is the sweetest boy i know (of course) but he has a smile and laugh only a mother could love! he laughs like a machine gun and smiles all squinty with full mouth of teeth…hard to explain, hilarious to see! he put himself down for a nap today and i found him with his legs crossed and sleeping with a book on him…my 2 year old “read” himself to sleep today. he is a jem! and he would wear your belt, whichever, very well indeed. Thanks for a chance.
Once my sister was staying the night at our house. She got in town after my 2 year old buy was asleep. She slept on the couch in the living room. When my son mande his nightly 3 am walk into my bed, she spied my sister on the couch. Thinking it was me, he got on the couch with her and fell asleep. About 6am he walked into my bedroom and kepting saying ‘2 mommys’ I couldn’t figure out what he meant until I went into the living room where my sister was still sleeping. He pointed at her and then at me and said “2 mommys’. He thought he was sleeping by me on the couch and then I was in the bedroom too. He still talks about it!
Im a follower… was that one of the entries?
I do not have any boys myself (just girls), but we do know quite a few. There is one boy that has trouble keeping up any pair of pants. ANY. AT ALL.
Whenever I see that little moon shining at me, whether he is on the monkey bars or running in a field, I refer to it as Griffin’s patented buttcrack. He could benefit from one of your adorable belts!
Thanks for the chance to win (for the sake of a little boy’s behind).
Hi Meg,
These belts are awesome. I subscribed to your blog too although I check in frequently enough since I love your posts.
Funny story about my boy? He’s almost 4 and a CUTIE pie. I always say to him – please don’t grow up too fast since I love you being small. He says, but mommy, I need to grow up fast so I can drive a car. Yikes! I’m in trouble.
As we were driving to my middle boy’s playdate with, of all things, a GIRL, he said, “Mom?”
“Yeah, bud?”
He said somewhat bashfully, “sometimes I like to play with girl toys.” He ducks his head down.
“That’s alright. Some girl’s toys are pretty neat.”
“Yeah,” he perked up a bit, “they are!”
“Anyway, it’s not a big deal…your dad used to play ‘Barbies’ with his big sisters!”
I’d love to get either one- they’re both great
CELEBRATE THE BOY!
What a great belt. I have a almost 4 yo who would just love this! Thanks for the tutorial too!
Boys are so much fun (says the mom with two of them).
One of my favorite moments with my eldest happened when we were watching White Christmas. He was 2 at the time. I don’t know how familiar you are with the movie, but when the Hanes Sisters come on and sing “Sisters,” my son wanted to know what they were doing and what their fans were made out of. I told him they were dancing and singing with fans made out of feathers. He announced: “No, Mommy; you’re wrong. They’re pretending to be ducks.” Nothing I said would convince him otherwise. Imagine his excitement when Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby came out and sang the same song with the same fans: “Look, Mommy! Now the boys are pretending to be ducks too!”
I love the creativity of children!
Oh, I also subscribed. This is such a great blog!
hello,
i luv those belts! well a cute story I guess was when my son said his first word which is mama but he said in basically all the chinese tones. He said ma ma ma ma ma ma in different tones. so cute!
thanks!
Well, just a few minutes ago, I happened on your site through a network of links that took me to your half eaten gingerbread man decoration (LOVE that!) a couple years back, and subscribed right away. Now I’m browsing your current posts and saw the boy belt giveaway — just what I need for my oh-so-skinny 3 year old. So, a funny story from this morning’s mayhem: I left my boys with hubby so I could go shopping this morning. Came back to find my oldest (the aforementioned skinny lad) with a metal mest trash can on his head, fully convinced it made him completely invisible. That pushed us into a full hour of hide and seek with my invisible boy. Needless to say, he won (=

At my friend’s baby shower she had her shirt pulled up talking about her belly button popping out when a little 3 year old boy comes up to her, points to her belly button, and asks if that is her baby’s penis. This was ‘in the middle’ of the party. Classic.
I love these belts, especially the wood grain one. I have 3 little nephews who are SO skinny that they literally RUN out of their pants. They are constantly on the go and my poor sister is run ragged by them.
My son learned to say my husband’s first name before saying daddy!
I’m following you!
My little nephew has the most sensitive nose I have ever seen, He can smell peas cooking from upstairs and know what they are. If he gets just the slightest whiff of orange, he puts his head down and puts the back of his hand over his nose. (Is he trying to say that he doesn’t like oranges? ;-)
the belts you made are adorable!! I’d love to win one for my guy.
My story is about my brother and his best friend, there was this really bad storm and we were getting ready to go to my aunt’s house to ride it out (we didn’t have a basement & tornadoes were being seen) I was sitting in the truck waiting and my brother & his friend were acting all tough, yelling at the sky, when the lighting hit & all you could see was a huge funnel cloud, they screamed and ran the heck away so darn fast!! It was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!
I already subscribe to you through bloglines!
I subscribed, but it’s my first time doing the Google reader thing and I can’t figure out how to comment!
I love these belts and could really use them for my skinny little boy.
My funny story is about my little brother. We were on camping vacation one summer when he was about 3. Eating in a pub on a rainy evening, he noticed that there was a fly in my Dad’s beer. He thought it was absolutely hilarious and jumped out of his chair dancing around the table yelling and laughing “There’s a fly in my dad’s drink! There’s a fly in my dad’s drink!” Everyone in the restaurant was laughing and this just encouraged him to continue. I can still picture his adorable little face.
Earlier this week I was busy taking care of my 2 year old son and I forgot to finish my coffee. A few hours later I handed him a popsicle, and got to work on the stack of dirty dishes.
A few minutes later he brought me the now empty coffee cup, held it up for a refill, and told me that it was “mmmmmm”
He spent the next several hours running around in circles screaming “Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!”
I love the wood grain one!
My little 2 year thinks he can grow by closing his eyes tightly and shaking his little body. I’m always telling him to stop growing and then he laughs and does his little shake. He’s really skinny and the belt would help his cause!
Thanks so much for the tutorial- I love the plad one:)
My story is about my brother – he would have a trip to the abulance or hospital EVERY school holidays – I remember one Christmas holidays Mum sent him for a shower and he yelled out and Mum went running in – he said while holding his chin with blood everywhere that he thought that he had blood! Really – he had soaped up the entire bathtub and slipped on the tiled step.
Oh and I was sitting here thinking that my little man has not done anything yet (2years) and then remembered the walls, floor and bed that he painted last week with poo. My little artist must be going to take after said brother (as he did it too) Must watch that one:)
Hi

no sticthes he got up and told his mom it isn’t as easy as it looks LOL
Cheers
