Meet Meercat

Neal loves to check out the meercats every time we go to the zoo and any time we go without Daddy, we make sure to swing by and see "Daddy's favorites." A few weeks ago, Meredith found this stuffed Meercat with her other animals and immediately took it to Daddy - just in case he wanted it. From there, she has insisted that Meercat (who was at first named Mary, and then suddenly become Joseph, but most often he is just Meercat) stay in our room at night. Then Meredith told Neal that he needed to cuddle with him at night time. And every morning, she makes sure that Meercat goes to work with Daddy, she instructs him to allow his friends to play with Meercat, to share his lunch with Meercat, etc. I am sure there are lots of guys out there that would have said no to any of these requests, but I watch Neal walk out the door every morning with Meercat tucked in his pocket, listen to him tell Meredith stories of Meercat at work, and watch him scramble to get Meercat up on the pillow each morning before Meredith comes into our room.

Neal has started taking pictures to send to Meredith during the day to see what Meercat is up to. He even took him on a work trip last week and pulled out Meercat on the plane.
Meercat had lots of important calls to make.

Meredith made sure to tell Neal that he had to make sure he was all buckled up on the plane to keep him safe.

This is one of the many reasons that I love Neal so much and that his little girls just adore him and light up when he walk into the room.
