Whatta Rat!

Last week Rock and I were sick and thus we were both short on patience and charm. His grumpy mood (see the furrowed brows) made me equally grumpy. Since we were both feeling and looking so ratty, I thought it was a good time to get a few pictures with one of Rock's favorite stuffed animals. Although we got this lovely rat for him a few weeks ago, he still likes to examine him fully each time he plays with it.
He is particularly captivated by the his face. Rats have such enchanting teeth and whiskers.
Sick or not, every boy needs a rat.

oh don't you know rats are all the rage right now!

If Connor had that toy, he would be interested only in the white tag attached to the toy. Tags are MUCH more interesting than the actual toy. They keep you entertained for hours!

Ugh! That tail in the first picture actually looks kind of real. I was really beginning to wonder about you guys. Great pictures, especially for a sickie. I hope you guys are feeling better.

I know it's the way of all kids but he has changed so much since we saw him. We're looking forward to hanging out with you guys at the beach!

rats are an important part of the circle of life. It's good you are teaching Rock about these things early.

Methinks he should have a "Black Plague" stuffed animal as a companion for his rat.
