If he could talk, I think Elliott would say this is the best present ever. The runner-up would be the paper bag it came in which he also like to hide in. Elliott loves him some paper sack. Our living room usually has a bag from Trader Joe's on the floor for his amusement.

The purple cat toy you see in the bottom right corner is something Elliott largely ignores. Again...he'd rather play with a paper sack than the four dollar cat toy, and yet I never learn to stop buying things like that.

Julie said we should name him and I suggested Michael since Elliott was named after Elliot on thirtysomething.

She said that was stupid and decided a more appropriate and dignified name would be Mr. Peepers.
