This is the “firefighter’s hat” Asa insisted on wearing to the playground the other day. I’m all for using one’s imagination, but, when it comes down to it, I don’t want my child wearing Tupperware in public. So I purchased this.
I know, I’m squelching his resourcefulness and ingenuity. Rest assured he’s still wearing the Tupperware around the house — because the new hat, while stylish, can’t act as a face shield when he enters burning buildings. That’s right, he pulls the Tupperware tub down in front of his face. It’s not dangerous like a plastic bag, but it’s still unsettling. I have a friend with firefighter connections who I’m hoping can help me out — and save Asa from tupperware-inspired nicknames.
I had a great run outside on the trails today. I’ve still got a few more “hilly” treadmill miles to get done before I turn in, so I’ll leave off for now. Sleep well.
Sleep: 5 hours (Boo!)
Run: 20 miles, 2 hours, 40 min

OK, I LOVE the the Tupperware helmet. But I get the “in public” part. That’s quite the handsome little man you have there.
Tupper-wear. 🙂
Takes after his dad.
Love it! Jon and I are living vicariously through Asa. He’s our cyber-child:)
Recording your cyber-child’s next tantrum to round your Asa impression out a bit. 🙂
awesome… but my child would never throw tantrums… right???
Just when you suggest he should use soap.
I prefer Rubbermaid for my long runs.
Funny stuff. And wise, I think.
Interesting… Actually, it’s not really fancy Tupperware — just some cheap plastic. I say Kleenex for tissue too.
Can you put a fireman’s helmet in a microwave? Or do you have to wait for a fire to cook your meals in it?
I try to limit eating out of things Asa’s worn on his head.
Don’t forget about how Asa saves his friends from over-turned wheelbarrows!
aaah, I see your caloric intake matched your run!
Asa is beautiful!
Thank you! Eliot came back from Ohio with a picture of himself at the same age. They’re twins.
