True Love

Ben has another love other than Mickey Mouse - my dad, his Pap Pap. And it is more than love, it is an obsession. He can't get enough of him. When my dad is around, all Ben wants to do is sit on his lap, look at him and occasionally touch his hair. Ben usually isn't a fan of lap sitting and if he does, it is short lived. But for my dad, he will sit on his lap for an entire day! I'm not kidding. And Mickey Mouse doesn't even have to be on TV. He will sit there without a thing to do for hours on end. My dad can't even leave the room without Ben having a major meltdown.

On Sunday, my mom and dad came down for the day to keep me company since Mike was out. When they left at 7:00, Ben was devastated. He cried for 30 minutes and kept on scooting over to the door. He was heartbroken. Ben even has a matching game of our family members' pictures (my mom made it for him on Thanksgiving to give him something to do). Wouldn't you know that Ben has become super attached to the picture of Pap Pap. He takes it everywhere with him... bed, school, the car, on walks, etc. Tonight he wanted to take it in the bathtub and I had to draw the line there!

So I thought I would share some pictures of Ben and his idol "Pap Pap".

Sleeping with the card of Pap Pap
And enjoying time with the real thing!
