Joshua has had this stuffed Tiger (whom he creatively named "Tiger") since he was a baby. Tiger has been his dearest and most loyal friend. He is with Joshua at ALL times . . . and he is seriously disgusting. Jason can't stand him. He is constantly trying to bribe Joshua to get rid of Tiger, or "the rat" as he calls him. Finally, Jason came up with a bribe that sparked Joshua's interest . . . a cell phone. Joshua has been begging us for a cell phone for forever. Jason told him he could have his old iPhone (with no cell service- just to use for games) if Joshua got rid of Tiger. Joshua went back and forth for days trying to decide what to do. Finally he made his decision. We took one last picture of the two friends together, then he gave Tiger a long hug and lovingly placed him in the trash can. It seriously broke my heart.
As soon as Joshua went to bed, I took Tiger out of the trash can and put him in a safe place for when Joshua gets older . . . I just couldn't bear the thought of his dearest and most loyal friend spending the night in the trash can.
