PJ and Cheeto-Leeto

Andrew has two best friends, PJ and Cheeto-Leeto. Cheeto-Leeto is a white bear with hearts on his hands and feet that Andrew got for Valentine's Day 2005. PJ is an elephant with hearts on his hands and feet that Andrew got for Valentine's Day 2006. Why these are his two favorite stuffed animals, I'll never know. But he LOVES them.

He named them one day, and I wish I knew where the names came from. PJ is a girl (he is very particular that we use only female pronouns for PJ) and is quite the trouble maker. PJ is always telling Andrew to do naughty things. Andrew will frequently tell us, "But PJ told me to throw that." or "PJ doesn't think we have to go to bed yet. PJ wants to stay awake." PJ is definitely a bad influence.

Cheeto-Leeto's name is a sign that my father's genes are hidden in this boy somewhere. Seriously, could anyone other than my father think of a name like this? Actually, I should check with my dad...maybe he did name this bear, and Andrew just remembers it. Hmmmm,... Anyhow, Cheeto-Leeto is a boy (also very particular about this). Cheeto-Leeto frequently gets on Andrew's nerves. Cheeto-Leeto is often in time out on our steps. Cheeto-Leeto is also frequently found thrown across the room after nap/night time sleeps. Apparently, Cheeto-Leeto does things that annoys Andrew, so gets kicked out of bed. Cheeto-Leeto does not seem to get Andrew into trouble...he just gets in trouble with Andrew.

So there you have it! My boy's best friends! Don't worry, we have him enrolled in pre-school for next year. Hopefully he'll find some human best friends...and he won't even get to name them!

I truly believe Andrew has realized his calling in life includes carrying on family traditions such as "cool names"
Cheeto Leeto is not something that is learned from other generations of great people, but rather you are simply born with it! Great Job Andrew!
