Lovable Distraction.

My little boy's nanny of 4 years is leaving tomorrow.

He adores his 'Ate' a lot so the next few weeks will be difficult for him.  We really cannot stop her... she has planned to go abroad years ago.  Now, she intends to make her dreams come true.

The replacement 'Ate' is coming soon but I am sure it will take a while before he warms up to her.

And so... we bought a dog.  A yellow Labrador.

My little boy named him Percy... after Thomas the Train's best friend.  

I have always wanted my kid to have a pet dog because it would teach him unconditional love, responsibility and compassion.  This is indeed the best time.  I hope that with his new playmate, he will not miss his Ate badly.

Liking each other seemed not too difficult.  The boy shared his trains right away.

I hope Percy would prove to be a good distraction for the kiddo.  I am pretty sure they will be best friends soon.

Now, hubby and I just need to learn the ropes of being a pet owner.
