a visit from Otis the giraffe

My son Leo's classroom has a class animal/mascot, a toy giraffe named Otis. Otis spends a few days with each student, and he has a journal in which the kids can write Otis' adventures while he is with each kid. The last few days Otis has been visiting Leo and our family. Leo has written journal entries about sharing tea with Otis at his desk at his grandmother's house, with an attached photo, and about napping with Leo and David, with a drawing of all three of them in bed. Otis has to go to another kid's house today, which I didn't realize until this morning, so no photo of Otis unfortunately.

I also want to add that David, my husband, will no longer be commenting on or reading my blog. We had a misunderstanding that turned into an argument, in part because of my blog. He apologized once he realized his mistake, but it lead to a tense 18 hours or so around our house. We talked about my blog and how I feel restricted in what I say and write about, knowing that he will read it. So he agreed to stop reading and posting.
