Or blogging about it for that matter.
So my kids have this obsession with pretending to be animals. It is fairly common for kids their age. Mostly they love to be cats. Almost every morning my oldest climbs in bed with me with this information: "Mom, we are a family of cats." He is not satisfied until I respond with a "meow."
On my (fairly) recent trip to DC I was looking for something to bring home to them. The Smithsonian has all these cool science toys and things, but after looking around I decided to get them something they would get a lot of use out of, and came home with stuffed kitties.
The boys sleep with them every night, and the other night JJ woke up from a nightmare that I had taken his cat away in punishment. (OK, I admit that I do occasionally put toys in time out - so it was not really an unrealistic nightmare.)
In my on-going attempts to get them to eat and to make life fun, I had this brilliant idea -
The dishes were only 99 cents and I promise they were clean. We don't even have any pets at our house, so it isn't like they will be mixed up with actual pet dishes.
Anyway, they liked it.
