Inspiration Sunday - Owl Love ♥

My son, Tobias, LOVES his owl. I had bought him from Gymboree a few years ago for Mateo, but Mateo never really played with him. Of course, now that Tobias has a great attachment to him, Mateo goes, "Wasn't he my owl?" :) And I say, "Well, honey, you never really played with him, but Tobias really loves him, so is it ok that he belongs to Tobias now?" Hesitation. "Well, ok."

Tobias sleeps with his owl during naptime and bedtime. One day a few months ago, it was time for Tobias' nap, but his owl was no where to be found. Although I put Tobias in his crib, he did not want to go to sleep without his owl. After almost two hours of searching, I finally found his owl under our leather storage bench. When Mateo came home from school I asked him about it. Mateo goes, "Oops, I hid him under there." Ahhh...kids! :)

Needless to say, Owl does not venture outside the house in fear of him getting lost! But I still think I need to get some sort of homing device for him! :)

Here is Tobias' well-loved Owl...yes, well-loved indeed!



So, I thought for this week's Inspiration Sunday, it would be all about owls! I have to admit, I really love owls too. There's just something about them that makes my heart sing.


I love these little wool owls. So, so cute.
