Hobbes!

I decided that Calvin needed to be Calvin for at least one Halloween. So therefore I needed to find or make him a Hobbes.  So naturally I crocheted him.  I found a free pattern online, though I did make a few modifications (he needed whiskers and I added more white to his face.  Something I should have done while creating the head but it was an afterthought.) 

Here is the pattern: Hobbes Crochet Pattern

Here is Hobbes

Calvin has been carrying him around saying "I love it"

 

Sweet baby moment

Calvin was difficult to get to sleep tonight.  Should have expected it though, he had a good long nap and I was even able to nap for a bit.  We are both fighting colds so it was very much needed.

I gave in after him crying and crying and crying, brought him downstairs so that Peyton could at least fall asleep.  He built himself a nest on the couch of blankets.  I gave her 10 minutes to fall asleep (though she was probably out in 30 seconds).  And tried again with him...

2 minutes later "mommy, mommy, mommy"   ugh

He sounded desperate.  Back up to check.  "my blankie"  He kicked had kicked it off.  So I tucked him back in and gave him a kiss goodnight. again. 

"thank you mommy"   oh fine, just melt my heart after all that.
