At times he has been a friend to one child more than another, but only because they needed him more right then. Currently, he has become a sort of sidekick for Benjamin. Heck, he practically spent every day in pre-school with him last year and has had the opportunity to get in a few Kindergarten lesson this year as well. It is a relief for me to know that someone can be there when Mom & Dad can't.
He's never intrusive, just supportive, while sporting a pleasant expression on his face, quietly watching from the sidelines. Yep, stalwart, silent, supportive, and I might as well add "stuffed" because as you can see our special friend is Bear, a big brown fuzzy teddy bear.
So when I tucked Ben into bed the other night and he whispered to me that the next day was Bear's birthday, I couldn't say no to throwing our good and loyal friend a surprise party.
Plus, I'll use any excuse to indulge in some fabulous chocolate cake any day.

Honey, it is never silly to respect the love of a child. Or to listen to a child and take him seriously - especially a male child, expressing love. His wife will thank you for this - you have made it safe for him to feel and to do for the creature he feels for. I think it's GRAND.
Your family is just simply awesome. I think having this party for mr. bear was a great idea, and esp. for Ben! Thanks again for coming up last weekend, it was alot of fun and it was good for all the kids! (even the big ones)
what a fun idea!
I LOVE that you did that! What a great way to show Ben that you listen to him.
That is about the coolest thing I've ever heard of.
Seriously awesome.
Oh you guys are all so cute!
I'm SO glad this post wasn't about your cat.
;)
