Staring Contest

All weekend long Mickey stood at the door of the nursery, staring into the room. She would stand completely rigid and not move an inch when you called her name. She would not leave that doorway. But why is she staring so intently? Is she that excited for the arrival of her human baby brother?



No, she knows that these are in the room. Stuffed animals and lots of them. And she wants them, she wants them bad.

I had my baby shower this past weekend and received many wonderful stuffed animals. I made the mistake of letting Mickey see them. I put them inside the crib where she couldn't see them. But she still knows that they are there. So she stands and stares, hoping someone is going to give him a delicious stuffed animal to destroy. She's going to be staring a long, long time.
