Reed has decided what he wants to be when he grows up.
He designed and created the prime accoutrement himself: a homemade and scotch-taped scythe.
My son, Grim Reaper in-training.
(This post was his idea: “Mom! Take a picture of me and put it on your blog! But don’t show my face.*”)

The cutest grim reaper I have ever saw LOL!
Wow. Reed is awesome.
Ah, that is funny!
I love it!
Is this what I can expect from my boy?!?!
I love him asking to be on the blog like that…hilarious.
I understand your privacy concerns, grapple w/them myself. He is one really cute grim reaper.
Kristin: ROFL, too!
Chicklet: I MIGHT be that cute if I, too, had a scythe.
Cassandra: that’s his Fierce pose, lol.
I wonder if the dying will be more or less intimidated to see the Grim Reaper standing on one leg.
Cute! And smart!
Huh, kinda like his momma…
Well, at least that’s one job he never would have to worry about being downsized out of…ROFL.
Anything sharp and pointy for Reed! The photo is TOO cute!
But…he is too nice to be the Grim Reaper. At least people wouldn’t be scared of death. 🙂
Ha, ha…if this is what he likes to dress up in May, I can’t imagine what he’ll dress up for halloween! LOL.
I love the stance and stripe shirt though…makes is seem less doomsdayish.
Too funny!!!
Nice that you’re teaching him internet safety, and nice that he’s learnt :-).
He is adorable! There is a whole new world out there to learn and teach – *sigh* – you are a great mom.
ROFL…that is so funny! You’re doing such a great job with this one–and I definitely would be more intimidated to see the dexterity of the Grim Reaper with his ability to stand on one leg!
Ha. That’s pretty funny.
Everyone else said all the good comments but I think its great that he wanted to be on your blog.
Ha…too good!!! nicely finished job indeed!!! what was he doing on one leg though? : )
OMGoodness that is PRICELESS! Do you think it that (you know, the Grim Reaper line of work) pays well and has health benefits?
Too cute. He’s a smart cookie.
Haha, Liv said what I was thinking… wonder what Hallowe’en will bring. :)-
so cute (and smart too!) I agree with chicklet! also, I like sheri’s comment. maybe if reed came to get me I’d go quietly… or I’d woo him with my ipod.
Luna — lol. Can you imagine Death going, “Oooh! Shiny things!”?
How awesome! I love his career of choice ;o) Good job about protecting their identities online. It’s a fine line, sometimes.
How cute.
