Sugar Bear

Sugar is the cutest little curly, blonde teddy bear. It's the mascot in Hayden's preschool class. Hayden brought Sugar home last Friday, 2/15. Boy oh boy, did she take her responsibility of Sugar very seriously. Sugar was like an extended member of the family. Sugar basically went everywhere we did for five days! He went to Serrano's with us, and apparently he loves chips and salsa! He ran errands, played outside and even tried to help clean Hayden's room. Hayden even brushed his hair and teeth two times a day so that he "smelled and looked pretty" and his teeth wouldn't get "boo-boo's like Daddy's"!!

Hayden did not have school on Monday because it was President's Day, so she had Sugar for an extended weekend. On Tuesday night we reminded her that Sugar would be going back to school on Wednesday. That did not make her happy. On Wednesday before we left for school, Sugar had to go to each room in our house to say goodbye and Hayden cried her way through the tour. I tried to explain to her that another friend would get to take Sugar home this weekend and love and care for Sugar as well as she did. She didn't quite grasp that!

When Conal picked her up from school on Wednesday the teacher's said that she had a minor meltdown when it was time to give Sugar up and advised him where to get her very own. Because Daddy has a hard time saying no....she called me from the parking lot asking me if she could go to Target to get her own Sugar. Goodness.....I'm sure you know how that one ended! I know I'm a big meanie! Surprised?!
