Ralston Taken Into Protective Custody


This is Ralston. He is Liam's baby and sometime alter ego. "but Mommy, Ralston doesn't LIKE ketchup now, he likes mustard..." Most days Ralston is the treasured baby of Liam and his best buddy/girlfriend Sam. They play house and take care of Ralston. Normally he is quite loved but today, sadly, Ralston had to be removed from the home. It started when Liam got upset over me denying him the use of the tape dispenser. If left to his own devices he would put tape on EVERYTHING. On toys. On food. On a cup of water. On the refrigerator, etc. I'd had enough of finding scraps of tape everywhere and of prying it out of the Bean's hands so I took it away from Liam. This started a doozy of a tantrum--the likes we (luckily) rarely see. So I marched him up to his room where he proceeded to throw almost everything in his room that was not tied down, including poor, sweet Ralston. SO now Ralston is in protective custody for the rest of the week until Liam can prove he is once again a fit parent.
