Mr. Elephant

It happened one day. Our little tiny boy became a bigger tiny boy.  You want to know how I know, I'll tell you. He now has a favorite toy!!! Mr. Elephant. I set up his little mobile/play boppy one day and attached a blue elephant to the mobile along with several other toys. But none of the other toys even mattered, his hand and eyes seemed to only connect with Mr. Elephant. And so it was our littly tiny boy became an even bigger tiny boy.  As a side story to the main Elephant story, this morning I awoke and discovered Mr. Elephant had gone missing. After a feverish search of the premises he was located in my mothers music room. After careful deduction I realized that it had been kidnapped by a kid. Riley, my four-year old niece. I haven't convicted the lassie yet, but mark my words her mother will get a phone call from me shortly.

Next and final entry for this blogpost is my little man had his first visit to Insta care. After about 6 hours on and off of crying dad (aka grandpa Clarke) prematurely diagnosed Ben with pnemonia-- citing a "wheezing" sound in Benji as the culprit to his guess. Will was out of town so I begged my father to accompany me to the hospital and I quickly fed Ben, and changed him to prepare him for a trip to the ER, but not without completey falling apart first. My tears streamed onto his little body as I prepared him for the trip. I was worried sick that Ben had a life threatening illness. After our visit to Instacare we discovered the "wheeze" was Ben's way of telling us he had an ear infection and was not happy about it. We went home with a prescription for amoxicillin and a lot calmer mother.  The end.

This is how mad Ben was when he found out Mr. Elephant had been STOLEN!

I was pretty mad too….

Will thought all the talk of Mr. Elephant was a little over the top.
