my son, the werewolf...

Jaden's current obsession (well, has been for the last few months) is Werewolves...this year, he even changed his Halloween costume plans...which in itself, is HUGE! the boy plans his costumes a year or 2 in advance...& he usually sticks to those plans no matter what! just after Halloween last year, his Vampire obsession began - so that was to be his costume this year...well, his love for Werewolves trumped that, & he surprisingly switched! here's his costume that is currently in route to our home...he's gonna freak when he sees it!

& if u know Jaden, then u know he's SO gonna rock that costume! ;0)

anyway, Jaden was beside himself last night...cause u know there was a full moon, right?! seriously, did u see the moon last night?! i walked the dog...at 9pm...with no flashlight! it was THAT bright!

Jaden couldn't sleep...he just stared out his window, probably dreaming about his "real" parents that i hear so much about lately...wanna hear the story?

(Jaden's drawing of him as a werepup, with his real parents)

well, when Jaden was just a "werepup", an evil scientist took his parents away...they were put inside the scientist's rocket ship & started flying off into space...Jaden tried to run & catch them, but couldn't...he watched the rocket fly away, sad & waving...
(imagine Jaden telling this story...even tho he gets that it's just pretend play...he actually tears up when talking about how much he misses his real parents)

(Jaden, as a werepup, playing in the mud...i guess these were happier days, when his real parents were still around ~lol~)

Jaden was then cold & alone, huddled by a dumpster, when Curtis & i found him...we brought him home & raised him as our own...to this day, Jaden is still on the hunt for that evil scientist - he wants to kick his butt & find out where his real parents are...then, when he's eventually reunited with his werewolf parents, they'll come live with us too...that way Jaden doesn't have to leave home ;0)

wanna see some more recent Jaden art? it's been a while...so here ya go...
(click the pics to enlarge)

*note - my brother noticed that Jaden would tape several pieces of paper together, so that he'd have a huge sheet to work on...so for his 10th birthday, Joe got him one of those huge sketch pads (it's like 11"x14")...as u can see (above), Jaden will still use 2 sheets to create an even bigger picture...i don't think it matters how big the sheets are, they'll never be big enough! ;0)
