Aggie Bear

Every child has something they enjoy sleeping with.  Whether it is a favorite blanket, lovey, or stuffed animal for whatever reason these bring great comfort and security when drifting off into slumber.  For our boys the favorite has become "Aggie Bear."  Now there are two variations of Aggie Bear, Big Aggie and Little Aggie.

I have learned a lot about my parenting from watching the boys play with their bears as they are going to sleep.  Most nights Aggie bear gets tucked in on the pillow along with the boys, and upon insistence from the boys given "sugars" from Mom & Luke or Levi.  Many mornings, Aggie bears join us for breakfast, and if I'm not careful Aggie bear is offered milk, cereal, applesauce, or anything else the boys have available.

I think my favorite has to be from the other night.  Jonathan walked into the boys room to quiet them down.  He looked at Levi and quickly questioned what he was doing.  He informed his Daddy, that Aggie bear was in time out!  Not sure what Aggie bear did to deserve this punishment, but Levi was insistent that he needed it.

One lesson we have learned, Aggie Bear is an important part of our family and we rarely get to leave home with out him!



The boys playing "night-night."  Not sure why this game is so fun when they don't enjoy the real time to go night-night.  Please note, Aggie bears in hand!
