This made me laugh out loud. The funny thing is ... not over thinking much at all this time. But still too early to bring them together full on - must wait, just in case... just in case.

And ridiculously cute kid :) But I'm with you on holding back. It's been what, a month? Kids are remarkably good at accepting people, but they stay fixated on stuff for forevah, I swear. Bean's had two homes for over a year now, and she still cries about missing her family ... Benjamin will love Dog and Bear whenever he meets them because that's what kids do. The un-loving part is much, much harder for them. Cute dog! And ridiculously cute kid :)

Except ours is bigger and his name is Benji. But on my life, the dog we had before this was called Murphy. Is this Murphy a goldendoodle or labradoodle. Benji is a Goldendoodle who doesn't shed (my son has allergies and asthma which is why we got this breed). He's a handful for me, but AMAZING with my kids. Totally and utterly loving and tolerant. They LOVE him to death. I think Benjamin will have a hard time saying no to this guy. Regarding the future, follow your head, but your heart a little too... *smile* oh my gosh, that dog looks alot like ours. Except ours is bigger and his name is Benji.

Maybe, just maybe, you're GUTS are right honey. Screw your brain for now. If you feel safe. If your son feels safe. If this doggy feels like he wants to lick/tackle/love you to death... maybe, just maybe, the guy does too (feel safe, feels like licking/tackling/LOVING you). Don't over think. Just be you. Let him be him. Two hearts coming together is a lightning strike regardless. Let the magic happen. I'm sure as shite rooting like hell from over here in Seattle! I don't believe in coincidences.
