First the story. When I was in high school, I was all about calling my parents by their first name. I didn't do it all of the time, just sometimes. Not only that but I liked to rhyme. That said, I called my Mom "Large Marge" and my Dad "Dale the Whale."
I am so kind. Its a wonder they didn't kick me out, huh??
Actually the names were terms of endearment. I know they don't sound as such, but neither one of my parents were large or whale like, and it just rhymed and sounded catchy so I went with it. Eventually I grew out of my phase and they went back to their happy normal names of Mom and Dad.
They were probably overjoyed when that day came.
So why am I telling you this story you ask?? Because Bitty has the cutest little robe with a whale on it! Her Great Grandma {my Grandma - the Margaret she is named after} gave it to her and she just looks cute as a button in it!
As I was posting the pictures of her in her whale robe, I reminisced about calling my parents Large Marge and Dale the Whale, thus leading to my random post and silly story. Consider it a freebie.
Without further adeiu, here is the queen herself, crossed legged in her whale robe with her kissy, faithful pup right by her side.

| Typical relationship. Champ begging for loving and Bitty whacking his nose. |
| Ah yes. All is right in the world. Cute kid and sweet dog snuggling. This warms my heart. |

PS--I tried out "Big Mama" for my mom one time (even though she is a tiny little lady). It lasted about 14 minutes...she was NOT a fan :)
