This week we got several gifts from a lot of caring folks. We tried to fit in as much as we could into the shot. We want to thank all of you for mailing us gifts for Calvin even though you guys have busy schedules. Thank you to Uncle Josh and Auntie Angela, Uncle Jeff and Auntie Jane and Chelly and her family. We love the dolls, blankets, toys, outfits, bibs, cards. Very much appreciated!
Newborns are not particularly into dolls. They don’t talk to you, they can’t warm you up. All they give you are empty stares. I guess I would be creeped out if I was new to a world and was surrounded by strange looking dolls.
I know a lot of you grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes like I did. Although, this was not the inspiration for his name, I am glad that it is associated with him. The day after I named him, I have been looking feverishly for a Hobbes doll and guess what?! They don’t exist. I am so bummed by this. Apparently, the creator, Bill Watterson felt like it would take away from his cartoons. I beg to differ but what do I know? There are some people who have patterns of Hobbes that they have created and are willing to share. So it looks like Methuse will have to make a one of a kind doll just for Calvin. Until then, he will have these dolls to look at him and a Tigger outfit that is too big for him.
