Years ago, Jessica got a big stuffed tiger as a birthday gift from a friend.  She named the tiger Cutie, and Cutie has been a member of the family ever since.

Well, this week, Cutie has been adopted by Luke.  Luke has been dragging Cutie around with him everywhere - to bed, the dinner table, and of course wherever Lukie is playing.  But, Luke refuses to call him Cutie.  Instead, in keeping with Luke's machismo, the tiger must be called Spidertiger, after Luke's favorite super hero.

Here is Luke making sure Spidertiger eats a good breakfast.

The only thing that kept Spidertiger from going to school with Luke this morning was the fact that he is too big to fit in Luke's backpack.  So, Luke put Spidertiger in Time Out (this is the Time Out Chair at our house), and instructed me many, many times to make sure Spidertiger stayed there until Luke gets home.
