A Quarter.....

The kids and I were at garage sales (love that they love to go to them!) and there from a far he spotted it ........One lonely Buzz Light year figurine. He immediately rushed over to it and started talking to him as if he found his long lost friend. Luckily he was only a quarter, because both of them know they are not to ask for something at every single place we go and he hadn't at the previous 10 sales, but this time there was no holding back "Mommie me take Buzz home!" Well it has been the best twenty five cents I have spent. From 10:30 on Saturday morning until now Buzz has not seen daylight he has been wrapped inside Brady's palm for the last four days and has done everything with him (so does mom) Brady let's change your diaper......OK mom change Buzz too.....Brady let's go eat......OK Buzz eat too........Brady let's go to bed......OK Buzz sleep with me.....you get the drift. Chris actually went into Brady's room late one night on the usual check house before bed routine he does every night and when he went into his room and Brady just moaned "Buzz" and then fell back to sleep............So he and Buzz quickly became BFF's but it was something more...... Brady isn't the most social of kids, but seriously ALL weekend as long as Buzz was in hand he was a total chatterbox, initiating games, giving random hugs to adults he doesn't know at a BBQ on Saturday - sort of out of his element - but I think he found some sort of comfort with good ol' Buzz. I would find him talking to him explaining how the day was going to go and we were going to go to a party where we didn't know most of the kids etc....... So be it if this is what this kid needs to break out of his little shell than I am on my way out to buy a lanyard so he can wear buzz around his neck at all moments sort of like Bobby Brady did with his tikki warrior necklace in Hawaii.........So some kids have imaginary friends Brady has BUZZ! Bless his shy little heart!
