Yesterday's conversation as we were walking in the neighborhood:
As we approach a man walking his two dogs:
J: Huh! Look there are two big dogs!
Me: Yes there are two big dogs (meanwhile a bark of a small dog in the background)
J: Huh? What dat?
Me: That's a little dog up here at this house (pointing to the neighbor's house up the street)
J: Want to go see little dog.
Me: Ok, we have to walk up the street a bit.
J: (after a moment's pause) People have dogs.
Me: That's right. People do have dogs, but we do not have a dog.
J: (quickly looked up at me and responded...)YES! We have Guppy (his stuffed dog, for those of you that don't know)
Me: (I laughed!!) Yes, we do have Guppy (and then we proceeded to list the other stuffed dog's name...Toby)
It was then that I became aware that it may take a while to separate Guppy from him...so, for now, I will not try. And, to my Aunt Suzie and Uncle David, thank you for Guppy...he is obviously a part of our family!! Jackson just loves that little colorful puppy. What I would do if we ever lost that dog...I do not want to think about it!!

One day he won't need Guppy anymore and you will wish he did. Hudson started to lose interest in his elephant at 4 and by 5 he really just does not need him anymore.
