New Doggies for Ethan and Ryan

A friend of our family, Alice R., made two very special stuffed dogs for Ethan and Ryan- Thank you Alice! The fabric patterns that she chose to make the patchwork dogs with were even customized for each of the boys. Ethan's has train and veggie fabrics amongst others (he is obsessed with Thomas and Train and is a huge veggie lover, which is great but funny to me since neither Dan nor I are big vegetable eaters). He actually asks for broccoli, corn, peas, and carrots. The doggies were a huge hit with both kids. Ethan carries his around all over (it sits at his craft table with him and "colors", watches TV with him, etc), and Ryan loves staring at the colors and patterns of his doggie. At this point it is one of the few items that we've found truly engages his attention.

Here is a photo of Ethan sitting with his doggie on the couch and a video of him talking about how much he loves his doggie.
