Phresh Lettuce

Refusing to let a piece of iceberg go to waste, Ishmael quickly fashioned himself a fresh cap.
"The kids are saying phresh," he tells me.

Sheepskin Pajamas

Ishmael gets tucked in next to Mommy's head every night.
He would prefer not to show everyone what his pajamas look like.
He knitted them himself out of sheepskin that he harvested from his friend Bartholomew.

When Ishmael gets out of the shower, he likes to lounge around a bit before facing the day.

Rajah Takes It Too Far

Rajah is Ishmael's colorful younger brother.  

He caught wind of Ishmael's accessory fad.  

As usual, he took things too far.

He wriggled into a onesie meant for Baby Na.

Untrending Ishmael

Ishmael, this look is so 2009.

Bohannon Fan

Lately, the household has been enjoying the Hell on Wheels series on AMC.
I have not seen one bandanna on the show.
Ishmael sees things differently.

Quiet Time with Daddy

Sometimes, Ishmael does not feel well.
He feels better in the safety of his cone hat nest.
And even better when Daddy puts the alligator on the wall.

Law School Exams

Ishmael does not understand the fuss over finals.

In particular, he finds Real Estate Transactions to be
"child's play" (his words not mine).

"I've always been the teacher's pet," he smirks.

Cold in the Ravens Suite

Brrr.  Even with his thick undercoat, Ishmael gets cold sometimes.
He did not mind bundling up to go to the Ravens game this weekend.
He was invited to the suite, where he stayed warm with fried chicken and soft pretzels.

Not Invited to Tgiving?

I told Ishmael he was not invited to Willard Thanksgiving.
He considers this a wild injustice.
I asked him why, thinking it was because the dogs wereinvitedandhewasnot!
He said, I've made myself a cornhat in anticipation of attending.

Superstitious Ish

Ishmael feels more comfortable cheering for the Ravens while wearing his handkerchief.
His refusal to wash it has not contributed to a winning season this year...
but he thinks the luck will turn any day now.

This is the photo that started it all.

Justin came home from work early one day.  
Ishmael clearly was not expecting anyone to be home.  
He had wrapped this heart-pattern cloth napkin around his head.
And was tidying the kitchen.
