May 4th - Meet Sally...

My kids have a special love for stuffed doggies. They always have. Lately, all of the doggies that enter our lives are girls. Baby girls, to be exact. When Max went to Build-a-Bear last winter, it was no surprise that he picked a dog. And it quickly became his Sally.

He adores Sally. It is the sweetest thing. Sometimes I hear him use his puppy voice and say, "I love you, Max." And then in his regular voice, "I love you, Sally."

Somehow, either at his school playground, or the soccer fields, or both, he received a ton of bug bites! We had to pick Zoey up from school today and I asked if he wanted to bring Sally along for the ride. He said yes and soon I heard kissing noises. He explained that Sally was kissing all of his bug bites and ouchies, and making them feel oh so better!



And well, I just thought this one was cute too:
