Stuffies

Emitt LOVES his stuffies. Especially horses, dogs, and ducks. Tyse wasn't really into them, so this whole stuffed animal thing is new around here. When we go to the toy store Emitt can spend hours on end in the stuffed animal aisle hugging every one and climbing on them and using them for pillows, etc. So they are all over the house! The other day he woke up from his nap and came downstairs carrying the duck (on his right) and the monkey (on his left). He spent a long time making them sit just right on the floor next to him so they could watch Star Wars with him. I thought it was so cute I had to take a picture. Of course he heard the click, so he had to then give me a little personality...

That poor duck is only one eyed- thanks to the late RED who also had an affinity for stuffies

- just ask our niece, Ellie. She LOVED Red and his affinity for stuffies!

Will the real Ollie Madsen please...

Last year sometime Kent's dad brought over a few boxes

of his things from growing up and inside were these two little cabbage patch dolls that Kent had when he was little. The boys have adopted them as their own and love to change their diapers and clothes, as well as give them naps and sleep with them.

The funny thing about it is that both boys have named their dolls "Dolly Ollie". So Tyse thinks we have 3 ollie madsen's at our house- Ollie, Dolly Ollie, and Dolly Ollie. What good company Ollie has!

Future player....

I was really just cleaning the kitchen one day and finally started wondering where Emitt had wondered off to. Well- he was ready to get to practice.... unfortunately, it wasn't his practice coming up, but Tyse's- only 2 more years to go!
