fall from grace - an ode to dotters

dotters, you used to be our go to. you made our little two week old caleb smile for the first time ever. and you've been his favorite for so long.

but then caleb started getting toys that moved and made sounds and were battery operated. i mean, really, how could you compete with a jumperoo or a giant house complete with a doorbell, windows, and its own mail service?

so nowadays, you are just thrown aside, stepped on and pushed away. you've been downgraded to a plush obstacle in caleb's path as he tries to make his way to his remote control helicopter.

poor, sweet dotters. you served us well. and even though caleb isn't showing it these days, i know he still loves you best.
