When Rhett arrived, I half-heartedly pushed the binky. It was out of habit and without hope. To my surprise it took. He was officially a boy with a binky.
Binky + Boy = Love.
So I declared it…
Ryan had a teddy.
Reid had a blanket.
Rhett had a binky.
All was right with the world. I could keep up with three things. One special item for each boy. No problem.
And then Rhett decided that one binky just wasn’t enough. If more was better than four was best.
FOUR B’S!
So, four B’s it was. They were small. I could slip them into my purse or in a corner of the diaper bag.
Then he decided he needed animals to take a nap.
Not just one animal, but MANY animals.
Alright, animals. Animals we have. Animals he loves.
And then he decided he needed blankets.
Not just one blanket, but MANY blankets.
Alright, blankets we have. Blankets he loves.
The crib was crowded.
Crowded with love.
*Rewind*
One of these things is not like the other.
One of these things just doesn’t belong…
Oh, that is Rhett’s “hot dog”.
It is on the A-list of loveys.
Who can fall asleep without a hot dog?
Yep, Rhett’s “hot dog” is actually Shigella the microbe that causes a stomach ache.
Maybe Rhett’s family has attended one too many health profession vendor fairs…
HA .. no doubt being a doc is the boys future.. Too funny .. weh you said hot dog I thought looks like a bacteria to me but whatever.. maybe its some new organic hot dog.. fits thats hot dog +tummy ache.. DOnt tell tammy she’ll be all over that one..
Awww….bacteria makes for the best lovies!
I guess they will make stuffed anything ๐
But to call it a hot dog–very observant boy!
Hey! I never got any of the cool diseaes at those health fairs. Well, there was the one back in 94, but no stuffed animal came with that one….
I thought it was something microscopic! I was guessing ameoba, though.
Awhhh hahahahahaha….I love the stomach ache hot dog. Isn’t it fitting that he calls the stomach ache a HOT DOG?
My youngest had a small rubber and plastic stomach that he loved. It had the tube leadin into it and everything. He carried that stomach everywhere we went. Strange looks from others? You betcha.
LOL!! When I was young, my lovey was a giant peapod. It was once stuffed with smiley faced peas, but I simply wanted the pod. Now, my kids have not one, or two or three, but handfuls of animals they schelp everywhere. I keep trying to focus on one, but it doesn’t take!
That shot of the chicken looks like Rhett might have put one of those binkies where the sun don’t shine!
We have the red variety here – Prince L calls them his “spark-ly ma’s” – “ma” is the binky word. Seriously, I may let him keep them until he leaves for college. How precious is that?
Shingella – love it!
Em
Lol! I love the shigella hot dog!
I tagged you for a game over at my place. Come see!
