John and I took a special liking to the Vancouver 2010 mascot Quatchi, I mean what isn't there to love about a cute, cuddly sasquatch who loves hockey, photography, and travel and lives in Canada's mysterious forests?
So Anderson has accumulated, a big Quatchi and a little Quatchi, and a Quatchi with mittens. And then in a post-Olympic Games clearance sale impulse buy (not to say the Quatchi purchases weren't impulse purchases), I picked up a Miga and a Sumi. Now despite Quatchi's fuzzy, lovable, awesomeness, Miga became Anderson's favourite little friend. So Miga's been camping and riding tricycles and to the park and rolling around on the floor of the van. However, Miga's rush-to-ship, mass-produced, made-in-China mascot cuteness did not hold up well to toddler adventures. Her back split right open and she was dropping stuffing all over the van, campsites and the house. So after a long sleep in Mommy's sewing basket, she was finally repaired. I even made her a tartan sweater and hat out of some knee socks, so that she could almost be as cool as Quatchi...almost. Her first outing since her surgery was to the science centre. I think she enjoyed herself, and her cool new outfit.
