Our goal is for Ben to attend preschool ALL DAY long this year and that will include a rest time. Because I would never send Jelly into the germ-infested petri-dish we call "school," Bagheera will accompany Ben at nap time and will live at school with his blanket or whatever else we're allowed to send. I'm trying to do everything possible to set us up for success in terms of extending Ben's school day, and I hope Bagheera will be just the buddy to help him through rest time. It's pretty crazy to feel Bagheera and think of how soft Jelly once was and to wonder why with the many Jellycat toys in his life, Ben dubbed Jelly, the one. :)
Ben spent a couple days choosing Bagheera's name and I suggested Peanut Butter, Hobbes and Dos. Bagheera really stuck, even though, "I know Bagheera (from Jungle Book) is not the tiger but he's the good guy. The tiger, what's his name?" "Sher khan." "yeah, mama, he's not the good guy."
Welcome to the Heimer Haus, Bagheera. :)
Good luck at school, Bagheera! I know you'll snuggle that precious boy up. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cutie! Bagheera will be a great pre-school companion for Ben! I can't wait to learn about his adventures. Oh and by the way, did anyone ask Jelly how he feels about Bagheera?
ReplyDeleteGood idea, mama. Let that new tiger do the dirty work. ;)
