Pink Bear

If anyone has been around Zachary; then you know just how special "pink bear" is.  Pink Bear is a purple bear that Zachary absolutely just ADORES!  This is his true "lovie" as they would call it, but to him, his BEST FRIEND!!!
Pink Bear goes everywhere with us and when you're talking to Zachary; he will immediately put pink bear in your face to meet his beloved bear.  He cracks me up!! 
Well, Pink Bear was starting to smell like a rotting bear.  Zachary likes to try to share his food with him, he's been dunked in the toilet, he's been dunked in the dogs water bowl, he has tried to feed him yogurt, he has given him his apple juice.............you get the point!  :)

Since Pink Bear was sooooo stinky; it was time for his first official bath in the washing machine.  Here are the pictures of before and after the famous bath for pink bear.  ENJOY!!!!

This is a common scene with Pink Bear and Zachary

Here is Pink Bear in the laundry basket with Zachary's clothes that are going to be washed. 

I let Zachary put Pink Bear into the washing machine - he loves to help with the clothes!

Here is pink bear in the washing machine with the soap and the water filling up the tank.

Zachary didn't want to shut the doors at first, but then decided that Pink Bear would be okay and he went off to play.  However, he didn't forget that Pink Bear was in there & would ask occasionaly for Pink Bear.

Here is Pink Bear ALL CLEAN!  Zachary immediately smelled Pink Bear and when he didn't smell "right", he looked at the face to make sure it was his bear.  He accepted the face & was just so excited to have him back.  He has been touching noses with Pink Bear and carrying him around ever since.  He's soo happy & it just cracks me up that he can love this bear so much. 

Here's to many more years with Pink Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just venting.....continue if you want; otherwise, just leave now.  :)

Okay, somethings just don't make any sense to me.  For example, my brother has his kids 2 months out of the summer and he doesn't see them that much b/c he works, we go out of town, etc etc.  However, he goes out on dates with his girlfriend when they are IN town?!  Why?  Are priorities out of whack, yeah, I think so.  Does it do any good to say anything, nope!  So, this is where I'll choose to vent b/c no one else cares to hear anything anymore about it.  But, it bothers me b/c he works FT and doesn't get them during the day.  Then, he's selfish enough to leave them in the evenings when he can be with them.  Messed up in my eyes!

Okay, enough said.
