Friends

This is not a recent photo. I am trying to date it and am drawing a blank. I know it's pretty old because we lost Tutter and Sully a long time ago, and Mickey was sadly let go after the "lotion fiasco of 2003." I would say he was around 3 or 3-1/2 in this photo. Anyway, I wanted to prove to him that there was in fact a time when he had stuffed animal friends that he played with. Everything these days is Star Wars and Legos and action figures. Don't get me wrong, these things are fine and all, and he still does have several stuffed animal friends. He can't go to bed without at least 6 of them in bed with him. Bear in the Big Blue House being one (actually, two) of them. He just wouldn't be caught "playing" with them, unless he was practicing his light saber skills on them. I often wonder what happened to Tutter. He lost his tail at one point. I have the feeling Max was responsible for that, and we never did find it. Sully disappeared without a trace, too. Even when we packed up everything to move, they were never found. Kind of strange, his two bright blue stuffed animals would find the same black hole. I know Max hated anything red, but she never seemed to mind blue. Hmmm... I guess we'll never know.
