White chocolate is my favorite chocolate in the whole world. Or at least it was. Kat and Mike went away for a long weekend of riding roller coasters and asked us to babysit their little boy, Pete. He fit in right away winding himself around our feet and making himself at home! He meandered around the house looking for any crumbs we may have left around for him to snack on. He wasn’t used to the 4pm walk to the bus stop, but hey, walkies at anytime had him quite giddy with excitement! Scott taught him a new game involving fetching a tennis ball and exploring the outside yard around our house. He was hip to the adventure! He got quite tuckered out his first night and did some snoozing on the couch like the prince he is! After Scott and I went to bed, Pete went upstairs and hopped on Maggie’s bed and slept with her which had her totally delighted! With him here being totally sweet and part of the family I couldn’t forget him when I did the grocery shopping. So I came home with a tug-of-war toy that we’ve all been having fun playing with him with. He likes it too! Here he is taking a break under our kitchen table with his toy. He’s also dumped it in the laundry basket and then rooted around in the basket snuffling to get it out! We’ve had a fun time Petey-sitting and will miss him when Mommy and Daddy come to get him!

It is clear that he’s homesick, though. He always goes right for the car when we go into the garage, making us think that he wants to go home, even though his house is right across the street. Silly, Pete!
