A Week with Freckles

Benjamin left preschool last week with a new friend-- in his backpack. It was the class mascot, a stuffed dog named Freckles, and Ben was charged with caring for him and entertaining him for the week. What a week it was to have Freckles!

Freckles visited Grandpa in the hospital.

Freckles waited for Elisabeth to finish her dance class.

Freckles went along on the field trip to the apple orchard.

Freckles did pretty much everything Ben did... he even learned to drive the toy race cars around the track, and sat with the family at the supper table! We enjoyed having Freckles spend the week with us. I will enjoy even more passing him off to some other family-- that's the last thing I needed was to keep track of one more thing!
