Sometimes the only way to deal with the dark is to turn the light on. And sometimes the best way to turn the light on is to make light. Which is why I am wrapping myself up in the comfort of this week’s photo friday theme: Play!
Once upon a time I might have looked at this theme and immediately gone to the theatre place. I might have tried to capture an arty photo of footlights or a messy makeup counter backstage. Or maybe I would have gone for a literal depiction of a beautiful long shelf at one of my favorite bookstores, Shakespeare & Co.
But now I think of my budding dramatic scholar, the squeaking ambling boy that is in one instant trilling with all the joy the universe has ever seen and in the next instant on the floor screaming because he is not allowed to rip the pages out of a book or eat an electrical cord.
Most of his play is done with a sidekick these days, and since it is so hard to capture that exact moment of play I thought I would share a solo photo of his buddy, Alice. Alice is his Ikea lovey that he picked out all by himself. She goes everywhere, experiences everything and is a witness to all W adventures.
(and thankfully I was able to purchase three bunnies when they were all at clearance prices- HUGE phew!)
In this photo she is recovering from an unfortunate accident that involved an experimental dunking in a kiddie pool. She basked in the afternoon sun for a few hours, enjoyed a brief turn in the dryer on very low heat and was ready for snuggles & dreaming by bedtime.

You are so wise to have purchased backup bunnies.
That is so funny because we just purchased a back-up that we found on ebay of all places. His other fave is not available anymore. when he’s in shreds, he’s done for.
Yes, but don’t forget to rotate the back-up bunnies. Otherwise, you end up with one “loved” bunny and two brand new bunnies and then W will refuse to accept the brand new ones when they are needed.
Oh, and Elizabeth says that is a “bear” and that she loves it.
Love this photo! And really enjoyed this week’s theme, too!
Awww….so adorable!
Your shot’s awesome, and way more creative than mine, but I love it even if you’re a bitch for thinking of something better. And the three bunnies, I’m debating that for his two favorite things – I’ve heard from parents it makes life a lot easier when you magically find their lost “x”.

Great shot! The light is incredible. Sunshine doesn’t have a lovey yet. Or rather, I’m her lovey. Ah, the joys of co-sleeping.
ME TOO!
Thank goodness for the extra bunnies. That is a beautiful shot of the fuzzy guy. We had a book I had to buy multiple copies of when Marty was little.
Alice. Such a wonderful name for such a sweet bunny. How did she come by it?
