The Benny Stories


Meet Benny.

Benny came to us via the North Pole at Christmastime.  He is named in honor of our friends' orange cat....Benny.  He's a rather dramatic cat, we've found, putting on all sorts of theatrics every evening at bedtime, often interacting with the neighborhood finger puppets.  Our bedtime routine with Anna is ever evolving, but this is the age of Benny.




Something extraordinary happened the other night...to Benny.
He discovered a magical wishing egg.









Inside the egg was an ordinary looking glob of purple play-dough.










BUT, when you whisper a wish into the egg, the play-dough
magically transforms into your wish!








For example, Anna, having recently lost her snowman
to the warming temperatures, wished for a snowman.

Voila!




The magic egg is now in high demand, and after several nights the play-dough is getting a little dry,
but we're having fun while the magic lasts.


Being the parent of a toddler is the best job in the world, don't you think?
