Day 24

Today I asked Ryan, "If you had to take a picture of anything in the house, what would it be?" To which he replied "Mr. & Mrs. Squishy!" Done. These are Ryan's Squishy bears. Mrs. Squishy is the yellow one, and Mr. Squishy is the blue one. The blue one is his favourite, he likes to rub the silky tag while he sucks his thumb, and he takes them everywhere he can. We got him the yellow bear when he was just about 6 months old. One day when he was around 2, we did a major house cleaning and threw out tonnes of junk. We realized a day after garbage day that Squishy was missing. We figured that Ryan was trying to copy our cleaning, and put his bear in a garbage bag when we weren't looking. We found the yellow one you see above on E-bay and bought the blue one as a back up for when the yellow one needed to be washed. He never realized there was a difference until about a year later when he spotted the spare in the laundry basket. Ever since then, he insists on having both of them at the same time, linked by the colourful plastic loops.
