Lovey

So School is literally just around the corner and to make all the fervent running around getting school supplies and uniforms and diapers and pictures and new backpacks and lunchboxes and food for lunches just that much more complicated with 4 children and one driver and a host of other players, my little blonde bombshell has decided that he needs to walk around everywhere dragging a stuffed eagle parrot with him. At times he also adds a bright red parrot, a bear-headed monkey puppet or a kissy stuffed fish to the menagerie. Yesterday he was lining up cars and trains of all sizes and colors just to see if I was paying attention he started carrying a few of those around for a little while also. We went to his back to school bash for the twins and he had to have the eagle in the car where we saw a train IRL and he crowed "train, mommy, train" at least 5 times just to make sure I saw it. Then he wouldn't leave the eagle in the car and carried it around all through the school even though he knew that it was the same place he had been going most of the summer. The bouncy house was NOT for him, although his brother tried it and loved it until it got too crowded with older kids who made him bounce around more than he wanted. It's going to be another LONG year.
