They say that getting a three year old to stand still is a lot like herding cats, but in all honesty herding cats is probably a lot easier. Ben got a new dog (it’s a pillow, it’s a pet, yes, it’s a pillow pet) and I took about 10 pictures before I finally gave up. And although I explained the concept of “standing still long enough to have a camera snap a picture” to him each time, we never got a real good one. In truth, he probably was just giving me a hard time. I think next time I will just deal with his agent.
He however really deserved the treat of having it. With all the commotion here in the house, his little world is really upside down. As we have been painting and all his room has been a storage room. He doesn’t seem too unhappy about having to sleep with us. As a matter of fact I often think I hear him laughing in his sleep. But his days are really numbered. It will be officially “open for business” as of tomorrow.
But for now we are just enjoying him with this pillow pet. What is it? It’s a boy, it’s a dog, and it’s name, quite creatively in a way that only Ben can do, is “doggy.” But if you have to have a new dog in the house, one you don’t have to feed, clean up after and let out is pretty sweet.
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
