Introductions


Aliza meet Grubby.
Grubby meet Aliza.

The first time Aliza saw Grubby on my bed she started saying, "He's scary, he's scary."  Then I started to sing "He's not scary, he's just misunderstood."  Those two phrases have become a musical moment between us whenever Aliza comes into my room.  It is quite beautiful.  
So far, she still thinks he's a scary monster, but the fact that she's singing those words tells me that she is warming up to him.

And he's just waiting for the day.

I saw this on my dashboard and I may or may not have verbally said, "YES!" in the middle of class....

I LOVE GRUBBY and I love that you wrote about this. He is indeed so misunderstood, but I'm glad you're breaking down that barrier between him and Aliza. Proud of you, little buttercup.
