A Study: Jack, in Woodland Creature Pajamas, Wearing Boots, Holding Goat*


Really and truly, what more could I ask for?

*Jack has decided, after 2 1/2 years of indifference toward stuffed animals, to love and claim this Beanie Baby goat, christened Baby Goat by Jack himself. He kisses Baby Goat, makes us kiss Baby Goat, carries Baby Goat everywhere, judges Baby Goat's moods and temperaments and continually updates us of any changes ("Baby Goat happy!" or "Baby Goat sad!"), and just generally is very cute throughout the whole process. What's endearing about this is that, when the boys were just 2 months old, they both had surgery, and all kids at the children's hospital got to choose a toy or stuffed animal before surgery. Stephen helped (I use that term loosely, as Jack was really just a drooling, blobby infant) Jack pick out Baby Goat. And the rest, my friends, is history.
