I Am Raising Tigger
On the door in the kids' bathroom hang a Winnie the Pooh towel and a Tigger towel. For the longest time, Nicholas used the Pooh and Jack the Tigger. I never thought anything of it, because the Pooh had always been Nicholas', even when Rachel used to use the Tigger towel.
Well, this week the boys decided to shake it up a bit and Jack was suddenly using Pooh and Nicholas was Tigger. But then today, Jack suddenly looked down at what he was wearing and had an epiphany. You could see the thought forming in his little impish mind, "What am I wearing? I am not a Pooh. I am a Tigger!"
Suddenly, he stripped off the Pooh towel proclaiming loudly that it was Nicholas'. Then he started trying to rip the Tigger towel off of its hook. And that is when it hit me. My kids are like the characters in Winnie the Pooh. Teddy is Pooh, a rolly-polly sweetie who loves to eat. Nicholas is Owl, calm and wise. Rachel is a Huffalump, loves purple, art and is prone to missing the obvious. And of course, Jack is Tigger. I don't think that I need to explain that one.
I would love an updated Tigger & Pooh towel picture! I remember those towels and would love to hang a series of pictures up showing the evolution!
