The epitome of cool.  ;)

Alex's class has a community stuffed bear (yes, he's as dirty as he sounds like he'd be) that they get chosen to take home for the evening and record their adventures in a journal.   This is Alex's second time taking home Griz and he's still as thrilled about it as he was the first time.  The adventures are typically recorded in pictures (that the parents have to print in one night) and this was one of Alex's ideas.  He and Griz on his skateboard.  I wonder what the neighbors thought. 

There is another where he is posted up on his bike behind Griz, and one where he is pretending to catch the football behind Griz who is sitting on the table holding the football.  Only problem with this one is it looks as if Alex is giving the camera two middle fingers.  I suggested he put football stickers over his hands and he gave me a look like "why?!!" Two pictures that didn't make the final cut were Alex and Griz pretending to  swim on the floor and one where they  are wrestling. . . all Alex's ideas.
