For the longest time I said I never wanted kids, but then I met the love of my life and my heart changed. Before we had Evangeline I imagined that I would be a no nonsense kind of dad who would not be swayed by cuteness. Wrong again. I am a giant softie, I have a tough time keeping a straight face when she's being mischievous, and I hate to see Evie Lu in any kind of pain.
I happened to be at IKEA when Kaia called to say the husky voice had turned into croup and I could not resist buying a $10 stuffed tiger. (Apparently all Swedish kids have their own tiger. Who knew?) Tiger (that is his official name) has become Evangeline's new constant companion. When she doesn't want to take medicine, Tiger comes to the rescue.
Evie is on the mend now, but it has been a week of rising and falling temperatures and a cough that makes it sound like she's been smoking for two decades. Thank goodness for Tiger.
In the bedroom the Tiger sleeps tonight.

Evie and Parker are really starting to look like they are related!
