Have you met Mimis?


Pronounced "mee-mees." I feel a bit guilty journaling about our lives without mentioning this ever present member of our family. Well, sort-of. She is a cuddly blanket type thingy with a lamb head. Sounds like no big deal, but I am telling you-I do believe that there are many days when Derek prefers her to the rest of us. Think Linus and his blankie- peanut butter and jelly. If it were up to him, he'd take her everywhere. The market, the park, even the bathroom if we let him. Anyhow, now you've met. So if we have a play date or something prepare for 3- Gavin, Derek, and a reasonably well behaved bodyless farm animal....

One of my favorite memories of Derek is the first time I babysat him and put him down for his nap-- and he didn't want to sleep without someone consoling him. So I sat on the glider with him for almost 2 hours and he stroked Mimis against his face while he fell asleep...I fell in love with him all over again that day!
