He has an obsession with Flamingos.
His favorite color is pink BECAUSE of his obsession with Flamingos...
Have I mentioned this before??
I'm not sure how it all got started. He saw them at the zoo, maybe? I know they talked about them at school one day. I bought him "Pinky" the beanie baby for $1 at the school craft fair.
Did you spot "Pinky" in the hospital photos below?
He had to come with us...
He comes with us just about everywhere.
He has to show me how they stand and sleep on a daily basis. "Mom, this is how a flamingo stands when he sleeps..see mom! Like this! One one foot!"
I probably contributed to his obsession by buying him the slippers....
But he really wanted them.
When he saw them in the Old Navy ad he asked me to buy them. Right now. He wanted them now. I told him I ordered them online (not that he knows what that means) and that the mailman would bring them...I lied. I just wanted him to stop asking me for them every 5 minutes..instead he asked me if the mailman was here yet...every five minutes. I broke down and sent Scott to the store for them. Hoping to wrap them and put them under the tree for Christmas.
I broke down again and gave them to him the next day...he had already asked if the Mailman was here for the 50th time.
Santa brought him "Splits" instead.
So did my sister after his surgery.
He didn't get to go to the hospital with us. Limit one flamingo per child at the hospital.
The day we went to see the ENT before surgery..we got put into a room with Flamingo pictures in it...
What are the odds?
He could barely control his excitement...
He loves Pink Flamingos and I love him!
