Colter's B.F.F.

Hi, I'm Austin Colton the Cabbage Patch Kid.

Although I am sometimes tossed from the heights of Mt. Crib, I am Colter's latest best friend. I know he loves me, because he always remembers to get me out of the crib in the morning, but he leaves those other guys, Boose the Bear, Duckie, Bunny, Lambie, and the two stuffed kitties (it's a pretty crowded sleeping arrangement), tangled up in the fleece blanket. Lately Colter has even been feeding me breakfast! I get to sit at the table with Colter, and I get my own bowl of oatmeal and a cup of milk. Colter's mommy finally convinced Colter to use pretend oatmeal and milk. She's such a trouble-maker.

Colter likes to let me play with him. Yesterday, he took me outside and let me hold my own piece of sidewalk chalk and draw a picture. I got to go on a wagon ride, too! I'm glad I live with such a nice boy. Sometimes, he dances with me while his mommy thinks we are just playing and listening to music. I saw her peek in the other day and spy on our dance moves. Sometimes, I think she just needs to mind her own business.

My boy takes very good care of me. He makes sure I have all my clothes, and he brushes my teeth and hair when he thinks about it. He has even been known wipe my little cloth behind with a real wipe and change my diaper. I hope he doesn't wipe off my Xavier Roberts tattoo someday.

Today when Colter got ready to take a nap, he accidentally left me in the living room. I heard him calling, "Autin, Autin!" I tried to run to him, but unfortunately, being stuffed of cotton, I couldn't get me legs to move. Luckily, Colter's mommy rushed to get me and delivered me to my Colter. I guess she's not all bad.

FFF-Friends with Stuffing (Make Sure to Look at the End)

Hooray for friends with stuffing! Colter's best friend with stuffing his definitely Lambie (I'm not sure the picture at the end of this post demonstrates that though), but he has lots of other stuffed comrades! Colter has reaped the benefits of the fact that his mother was a deranged Beanie Buddy collector back in the day. I purchased entirely too many stuffed animals when there was a Ty Beanie Baby craze but justified my purchases by planning to decorate a nursery someday. The poor guys lived in storage containers until Colter finally came along! Now some of them (not the girly ones) are finally free living on a few shelves in Colter's jungle room. Almost daily, they are swept off the shelves by Hurricane Colter. They also have gotten to play a new game lately. My boy loves it when I throw a ton of stuffed animals in the crib with him, so he can throw them out one by one.

Here he is with his buddies!

Uh oh...I think his Cabbage Patch Kid, Austin Colton, may be headed for a nose dive!Oh, no!Poor Austin. Sigh. The trials of being owned by a one-year-old.Colter really does love his friends with stuffing, even though

he brutally tosses them from high places.See he even gives them kisses; although, I'm not sure this kiss was too pleasant for Mr. Panda. I'm pretty sure it included some nose-chewing. :)
