Eagley's Last Stand

We have had a longstanding rule for all of DuckyBoy's stuffed animals. They all, for the most part, have known not to sit on the arms of the Eames chairs. (And DB knew the rule as well.)

From time to time, though, Eagley would break the rule. As a result, we now have a phrase for a severe punishment called an "Eagley Time-Out." Usually those stuffed animals who incur an Eagley time out for any reason get stuffed into a bookshelf headfirst, or under a piece of furniture. It's painful. DB loves it. He absolutely loves to give his stuffed animals a horrible time out. That must be how they feel to him.

Well, we sold the chairs today. They're too valuable for a family with kids to jump around on, always in jeopardy during playdates, and the ottomans simply take up too much room (and collect too much dust).

So, last night we let Eagley have one last sit. With no consequences except now we have a picture to remember it by:
