What's That Song about 10 in the Bed?

I'd like to introduce you to Little Pup....


And Dotters...

Little Pup is a white and black Dalmatian Ty stuffed animal. That isn't his "official" name, just one that Jadon made up!

Little Pup was an attempt at finding a replica of a stuffed animal of Abbey's Dotters that Jadon attached himself to while we were in Sacramento. Mission Accomplished...

Little Pup is now a very important guy in our lives... He goes a lot of places with us, but most importantly he sleeps with Jadon in his crib...yes I know he's almost 3 and still in a crib, but he likes it and so do we, so for right now it works!

But sometimes Little Pup is a frisky little dog and accidentally falls out of the crib, thus causing major drama (sometimes crying in the middle of the night and sometimes frantic searching at early hours of the morning when little boys really should still be sleeping...) I thought about ways to "attach" little pup to something bigger, but nothing really seemed to work. So I got into the habit of telling Jadon to just hold onto Little Pup really tight! Well... I think Jadon has solved the problem of losing little pup. Like only a toddler could solve a problem... Little pup gets stuffed down into the front of Jadon's shirt, making it nearly impossible for that "Little" Pup to fall through the slats of the crib. That is some creative problem solving!!!

And now...another friend has joined the bed crew...Our own Dotters has been found! Where did we find him?? Well of course, where else but the Candy Store at Chandler Mall. Who would have known?? Now we have "Little Pup", "Dotters", a pillow, Bob the Bear, 3 Little Giraffe blankets-2 small and 1 big one and depending on the weather/mood we either have the blanket Abbey made for Christmas or the Curious George/Thomas the Train one.

Maybe sometime soon Jadon will need a bigger bed-for all his friends...we'll see?
