A collaboration between my son and I at the local ceramics paint-it-yourself place:
“Front” (well, the side I see when I drink a beverage) has my daily checklist: Yoyo, Wallet, Phone, Keys
“Back” says “Dad” in my eldest’s handwriting
All in a nice confetti colourway. Haha!
That’s awesome dude, looks really good! And it’ll definitely help you remember the important things! ;D
That’s a pretty awesome mug! Always nice to have something made for you by a family member or two! Also diggin’ the confetti scheme
Best post of 2015! I love it. This checklist looks awfully familiar, almost like I go through it myself daily. Haha!
That is very cool indeed Greg!
I remember when my father took me and my siblings to one of those paint your own ceramic places whilst on holiday. Fond memories indeed, although if I recall correctly the ceramic frog I painted wasn’t quite as well done as your wonderful mug. ;D
Yes, well, we’re also developing quite the menagerie of ceramic animals. When left completely to their own devices, the boys come up with some pretty interesting-looking critters. 
They get names, too.
The alligator’s name is “Chump”. Not “Chomp” mind you, but “Chump”.
This is super cool! Might make you want to drink more coffee though!
i do not see this as a problem
Great mug! Great son!
I do drink a rather large amount of coffee as it is. 
I’ll tell you what: there have already been times I’ve had to say “don’t fill it all the way”, which doesn’t happen with my other mugs.
It doesn’t get much better. I hope my son makes me something similar one day.
25 or more years ago my daughter made me a bookmark that I still have and use.
Our kids can bring us great joy.
hahahahahaa that’s great! we need more of your paint your own pottery places where i live…
That’s awesome. Something you’ll always have. It’s something you love from someone you love. Awesome.
This is really great, Greg. I personally like how “keys” is last on the list. No reason to go anywhere if you don’t have the other 3 things first, right?
Haha, you got it!
Awesome mug. It looks like you are raising a fine little man. Some of my favorite possessions are items my children have made. A couple of weeks ago, my son and I made yoyo holsters from para cord one Saturday morning. Now, when we go to yoyo school (or anywhere else) we can carry a throw on our belt. Time spent sharing time doing things you love with people you love is time well spent.
Continue to enjoy your mug and son!

Pretty cool!
That is an awesome mug. Good job in incorporating a cool memory with some yoyo ideas
