Wolfgang, the wolf puppet, has come out of hibernation. He was put away when Drake was diagnosed with dust mite allergies. I brought him out today, after a short stint in the freezer to kill off any remaining mites. The boys were instantly in love with him. They sat on the couch with him, feeding him puppet food and stroking his fur. Flynn read two stories to him. Wolfie fell asleep during the second, and Drake woke him to hear the end of the story. Flynn then started taking pictures of Wolfie; afterward, he let Wolfie take some pictures. It is very difficult for a wolf puppet to manipulate a camera.

Flynn later read him a bedtime story and left books to read. According to Drake, Wolfie is a Pre-Level 1 reader. I'd say that's pretty impressive for a puppet.

I hope those two stay sweet and imaginative.
