Baby pig

This morning was a lovely cool morning and I took full advantage of the opportunity to spend a few hours weeding my vegetable garden.  Judging from the 3 garbage bags of weeds, it clearly needed it.  Daddy was at work, and Dominic was happily amusing himself. I came in to get another trash bag at one point and discovered he'd tucked himself into bed with his ipad.

this is unusual.  I believe even a first.















The remainder of the story requires a history lesson.  Dominic has, for MANY years (even pre regression) carried around fidget toys.   What they are varies wildly, but generally they are animal themed.    I can remember searching outside with a flashlight to find the one he lost so he would stop screaming and go to sleep when he was still just a toddler.  Of late he's been carrying around, and sleeping with a trio of tiny pigs, including a baby pig, and a mouse.  2 nights ago, he very specifically gave the mouse a bath with soap, rinsed it off and dried it, then looked up to me and said "Mouse Bath"
