New Babies

Not for me....New babies for my boys.

For not having a sister in the house, these boys of mine are very "maternal." Especially Tubbs-----he LOVES the word baby. It could be describing a pancake, a pumpkin, a smaller toy...whatever.

LOL

Saturday while at the mall we made our first ever stop into the "Build-A-Bear" store.

The boys were a little hesitant, but once Tubbs learned he could make his own "baby" they were all for it.

Tubbs picked out a penguin and Bubba picked out a black bear.

Tubbs picked out a Batman outfit so he named his penguin "Batman" on his birth certificate. Bubba was hooked on a fisherman outfit but once he saw Tubbs' pick he picked out the Spiderman outfit--and named his bear Coco. (He stole it from me since I mentioned the name when I suggested he pick the black bear!)

These boys have been building forts with these stuffed things, making beds for them....buckling them into carseats! Its crazy! Bubba was complaining to Tubbs about the noise in the living room, saying that Coco was sleeping. I made brownies yesterday after church and when I told the boys they couldn't have one until after lunch Bubba tried to tell me that Coco needed one. I didn't go for that one, but I gave him an "A" for effort.

After church yesterday Bubba got in the car upset.

I asked him what was wrong and he said, "I said the prayer in class today and when I blessed Coco everyone laughed."

I didn't know what to say because I would have laughed too. But Luke told him that they probably laughed because they didn't know who Coco was. He seemed happy with that answer.

We're happy that the boys have a little distraction from the everyday fighting that takes place over the Lego bucket.

We'll see how long they pay attention to their new best friends (as Bubba calls them)!
