Oh, Bother! It's the Pooh family

Somehow Grammy and Will have decided that for this visit, we are all Winnie the Pooh characters rather than our former boring human selves. Here’s the cast:

Will: Pooh (with his big honey-loving tummy)

Owen: Roo (especially fitting when he’s in his pouch of a front-pack)

Grammy: Piglet (who, according to one of our Winnie the Pooh books, is Pooh’s best friend)

Grandpa: Eeyore (a slow-talking whiner)

Me: Owl (Probably not because I'm a wise old one. I’ve heard that owls have tiny brains and are quite stupid so this may be the real reason behind the choice.)

Rob: Dave. (The name of Grammy and Grandpa’s friend who emergency-landed his plane last week on a Colorado Interstate). Apparently Will decided Dave was more interesting and thus more deserving of a role in our family than Tigger – in spite of the fact that Rob has done many a ceiling-high “Tigger bounce” with Will to transport him to places (like his bed or the dinner table) that he might otherwise go reluctantly.

Here’s Piglet and Pooh both reading different books to overstimulated Roo simultaenously while Eeyore mopes about the fact that he’s not even featured in the Winnie the Pooh book that Pooh’s reading aloud.

For the past couple days Piglet has been reminding our little Pooh that Winnie the Pooh is always polite. And Pooh is sometimes compliant and sometimes a very stubborn old bear.
