Hussy Bear and The Artist
This week Isabel did a nice job of busting me. See the hideous article of clothing on her bear above? When we were in San Diego this fall, our diaper bag/backpack was inadvertently left at a train station. This left Issy and Milo without bathing suits. The ONLY girls' bathing suit that was even close to Issy's size in the entire mall was the little number above. It didn't even have a bottom. She had to wear the top with some 99 cent clearance shorts. It's seriously awful. It hasn't been worn since--and will never be worn again. It's what you would have your daughter wear if you wanted her to fit in on the Vegas Strip--or worse. Somehow, Isabel found it in the back of a drawer (I thought it had been thrown away) and put it on her bear, along with a sparkly headband number. Her bear looked like a hussy. Being in a rush to get out the door, I didn't even notice what the bear was wearing. Don't worry, I was forced to recognize and explain by several members of my family and by Sage and Porter. "WHAT is that bear wearing??" For good measure, Milo piped up with "Mom, that bear is NOT being very modest today." as we were driving home. I was busted for a.) even buying the hideous/trashy thing b.) not paying enough attention to the toys that come with us when we leave the house and c.) not regulating the modesty of the stuffed animals around here.
Milo has come up with some great drawings in the past, but this one is my favorite by far. This is his rendition of himself "in my tummy". How cute is that? Notice how large I am and that my head is detached. Both are pretty accurate portrayals of my twin pregnancy. :) This one's getting a frame folks.

That looks so much like Spencer's early artwork. My favorite one of his was one of a tiger. Unfortunately it was drawn on the wall of his bedroom. And we were in the olden days when camera's werent' digital and film developing was $$$$$$.
Now, what's with that hooker bear?!? JK
So awesome. Nice work, Milo!
Where is Issy? :)
Erin,
Um, I talked to Sam about Issy coming to our living room anastic practice's, and at this time we are going to have to say No. While we would LOVE to meet Issy and Milo, especially after seeing that darling picture of Milo with his arms around Issy (so dang cute!), we are going to need some proof that you won't indeed dress either of your kids in hooker (grandma's word) clothes.
Thank you, Season
Love the bear and the picture. Have him draw a triplet pregnancy next time, just for kicks.
