July 7: Brooch II

Day 58

Today we drove home. Eight hours in a car seat can't be that much fun, but Peter was a champ. He never screamed or cried. He fussed a little, but who wouldn't? I'm so proud of my little man.

I dug out a couple of my old teddy bears, Brownie and Pinky, and Peter really seems to like them. They were my first stuffed animals and my good friends. I hope they'll keep Peter's secrets as well as they kept mine. I actually propped Brownie up in front of Peter as we were driving home and Peter was fascinated. He alternately kicked and talked to Brownie a good portion of the drive.

Peter and his two new buddies. Brownie is waving at me.

Today I'm purging another brooch. I can't remember how I came to own this brooch or when, but I know that I've almost never worn it. Time to say goodbye.

Thanks for the great weekend Grandma and Pa Pa! I love you.
