Charlie & Puppy

Whenever Charlie is asked "Do you have a dog??" he answers.... Yes, I have Puppy!

His stuffed Puppy is his closest companion. Puppy is never far from Charlie's side. Max has even learned to find Puppy and bring him to Charlie....saying CHAR CEEE....PUPPY!

Puppy helps Charlie to process thru most everything that happens, from timeouts, shots at the drs, Daddy being away, etc. What happens to Charlie in life, is acted out with Puppy shortly after.

And so when Charlie was the special person at school today (because mom was the helper in the classroom) he was allowed to bring one special thing from home. Without a doubt Puppy was the one who traveled to school with us.

The moments of Charlie 'introducing' Puppy were priceless. Charlie kept saying over and over...'Puppy is SO SO special. I love him SO much'. And then he proceded to walk around the room and encourage everyone to smell Puppy. Becasue of course Puppy just smells so good:) We did wash him in case someone did want to smell him.
It was an adorable moment. For Charlie, Puppy and me.

My daughter, Mckenna, has "doggie". It has been by her side since she was a baby and its status as BFF was cemented when it went with her once in the ambulance and into the ER for stitches with a plastic surgeon. If he is every missing around the house at bedtime its a sleepless night!
