Bingo Baby-Dog

We are happy to announce a new addition to our home.  NO, Crafty Mama is not pregnant.  And no, we're not crazy enough to get a second dog.  Will has a "baby," that he's named Bingo Baby Dog.

Are you surprised he's picked a dog to make a baby out of?  I'm not.  The Baby-Dog is a plush dog that my in-laws sent for Sean as a gift.  The dog sings "B-I-N-G-O and claps its paws as it's singing.  Will of course comandeered it right away, saying that he wants "to share it with Baby Sean."  (i.e. force Sean to give it up for him to play with)  Luckily, Sean doesn't seem to mind at this time but that is sure to change in the near future!

I was on the phone with my mother when Will came into the room the other day, and he's cradling Bingo Baby Dog and singing lullabies.  Since the dog's mouth opens to sing, Will has shoved a binky in it and is now pantomiming a crying baby.  It's the cutest thing, really.   Bingo Baby-Dog has his own "baba" and sleep in a crib fashioned out of an old diaper box.   I've even put it in a diaper (size one works nicely) and an old onesie that doesn't fit Sean anymore.  And of course, no mom worth her salt would let this photo opportunity go to waste!
