Thursday Then and Now

Nothing so interesting happened today...aside from the usual silliness of Thing 1 (Beata) and Thing 2 (Jethro). Raymond did not go to work for since yesterday because of a bad cold. Jakob has a little cough this morning and came home from school today with headache...I guess he got the cold virus!

Since it is still officially Beata's birthday week, I decided to do a Then and Now post. Remember the stuffed dog from yesterday's post? Well, it's her favorite stuffed animal. It was given to her by her Grandpa when she was about 6 months old and she never let go. She'll take it everywhere!!! She like to rub it's tail on her nose (don't ask me why?). It's been in the snow, the mud, the puddle, (even to the church service--so she can sit still and be quite throughout the service :P). It has seen many washing cycles in the washing machine. Now, it's showing some "bald spots" and it is not as full and fluffy as before but she still would not trade it for anything (that's why we took her to Build-A-Bear for her birthday thinking that she would want a new stuffed animal!). Grandpa has given her another stuffed dog last year but she still would not give up "Doggie" (what she calls the dog, creative eh? ha!).

So, here's your Then and Now, Beata (and Doggie!)
