Naming

I thought it was just fine the that boys' stuffed animals had the following names:

Red Bear
Other Red Bear
Blue Bear
Brown Bear
Blue Dog
Big Blue Dog

But Mike disagreed. He thought the "aminals" should have actual names. Mattie and Jamesie were not forthcoming with suggestions, so Mike took matters into his own hands. Three of their teddy bears are actually NASCAR bears, so the boys now have Kasey, Elliot, and Ryan, named after the drivers. (You can imagine me shaking my head here.)  The boys are quite delighted with the new names.  Mattie is pictured here with Kasey (his favorite) and Elliot.
