Operation Penguin Swap

Connor's penguin obsession has been well documented on this blog. A couple of days ago, I noticed some small hard plastic balls in Connor's crib. They were hard and didn't have the same consistency as the residue that you may notice in an incredibly wet diaper. Then, I realized that there was a tear in peng's right arm wing. Continuing to keep peng in the crib was probably a hazard so I called in a favor. The problem is that Connor needs him to go down for his nap and at night. So, timing was crucial. Benjamin agreed that it was o.k. and Lisa dropped him off and took the torn winged penguin to her mother to mend.

When it was time for bed, Connor stared at the "new" penguin with a curious face. Connor expressed slight concern once he found the tag as his original was shredded. Michael and I were very quick to respond that peng got a bath and was clean. Connor beamed and repeatedly rubbed his belly and told us that peng was clean.

So thankful that we had the option and that Benjamin thought it was o.k. to give up his penguin.
