Cats can drink coffee too...right?

Ok, not really, but Will thinks his little stuffed cat can! Will's favorite stuffed animal is his cat named Sammy. This is the stuffed animal that will come out with him in the morning all tucked up under his arm.

Sometimes in the morning, Sammy will "share" mommy's coffee. This is done by Will holding his little cat up to the edge of my coffee cup while making slurping noises as he pretends his Sammy is drinking my coffee - "Sammy dink mommy cofffy!"

One morning a few weeks ago, Sammy nuzzled his nose a little too far into the cup and soaked up a little more than the "pretend coffee" he's accustomed to having in the morning. His nose was sopping wet with hot coffee.


Will was not thrilled.

I couldn't help but laugh...Sammy's nose was dripping with coffee and Will was adorably worried about his precious Sammy.

After snapping a picture (of course) I comforted Will by saying that we would get Sammy all washed up. And that we did. Sammy was washed and dried by the time Will went to bed. I brought him in and said, "Look Will, Sammy's all clean!" Will grabbed him and thoroughly checked over his nose (thankfully the coffee didn't stain!) and with happy relief proclaimed, "Sammmy Keeeen!" (Sammy clean.)

Interestingly enough, Will no longer puts Sammy up to my morning cup of coffee for a pretend sip anymore...
