Bert and Ernie

My friend Claudia gave Jonah Bert and Ernie stuffed animals. They were leftovers from our multi family garage sale. He has quickly figured out how to say both of their names and he knows that they go together. He was very sad that Ernie came out to dinner with us but Bert did not. He woke up this morning and there was this grey lint in his bed that he was concerned about. I said "Trash?". He said, "Bert". Bert had a boo-boo. Poor Bert was "leaking" in two spots. I sewed him up tonight and Jonah then wanted me to fix all of his stuffed animals. There is something very sweet about sewing up one of your child's special "friends" (even if it is one that is new to him and someone else has loved on forever, maybe that even makes it more sweet).

Our 4-year-old Aidan has two pigs (identical pigs) who are his "buddies" Though I've never had to sew them, he often tells me they are ill and needs shots and medicine.

I thought you were going to say that their names are Bert and Ernie! I can't believe that you have a 4 year old!

Oh sorry . . .the two pigs' names are "Pancake," and "Nuther Piggy" (nuther as in "another piggy . . .Pancake came to our household first)
