Tyson FINALLY gets a baby

My boy (a bit like his momma) has a slight obsession with BABIES. So, as we were scanning the isles of Dollar General for some coloring books and play dough (I was babysitting my friends kids and didn't have much for them to do, with most of my stuff being packed up and all), when Tyson started yelling "Beeby, Beeby" instead of the usual, "Ball, Ball" it got my attention.

He has an unusual interest in babies (I am sure I have rubbed off on him slightly), and since this interest is a good one, I decided not to squelch it--I gave in (it was tough for me) and bought him his first baby doll (at least we found the one wearing blue!).

Once we had checked out with our coloring books, play dough and baby doll, I loaded Tyson in the car and called my mom (it was only 6:00 am in CA). She was sooo happy. She has a whole collection of the mini baby dolls herself. She was my easy reveal-- I was a little concerned as to what Greg's reaction would be.

He generally doesn't care if Tyson plays with "girl stuff" (we aren't too worried about him.. he is pretty much ALL boy. We both figure that a little Barbie/dress-up play is only softening our little rock). When Greg came home for lunch Tyson had moved on from his baby, but I made him show his dad what he got. Greg said, “What do you have, buddy? Oh, a baby. Can you give it a love? Good boy.” And that was the end of that.

So Tyson gets to keep on loving his baby doll!! Yahoo! Maybe it will bring us good luck :)

PS--I did NOT pose that pic... I snuck up on my loving boy. He is a natural!
