A New Buddy

Erin took Ty on a little frozen yogurt date yesterday. George went along too. 

My little boy picked out a new friend this week during a marathon jean shopping escapade with Makenna. Let's go ahead and add jean shopping to that list of experiences to be avoided; right after bras, bathing suits and dresses. Anyway, Ty was incredibly patient but after an hour and a half running in and out of the fitting room, I let him choose a toy to play with while we remained stuck at Kohls. Ty chose George and their adventures together began immediately. George practiced flips and jumps in the isles. He talked Ty into asking for french fries and being purchased. Ty was thrilled to be permitted to buy George at the end of our shopping experience. He had birthday money from my friend Kristil and I had to agree to the new toy, having never witnessed him interact with a stuffed animal before. His play is always quite imaginative but the way he's playing with George is unique and special. It's been fun to listen to him talk to George and watch him care for him too.

George wanted to help but Mom insisted he say dry. So he kept watch over the pool filling detail. 

George needed his own seat belt in Erin's car

George requested a sleepover

If this special bond lasts many more days, I may be sneaking a back-up George into the house.
