A boy and his cat

Every year, Nana and Papa send flowers to Clara for her birthday. One pink rose for each candle on her cake, in a pretty vase, with a balloon attached. Last year, when she turned 6, Nana had the florist attach a stuffed animal instead of a balloon. And that is how Lisa entered our lives. Clara had possession of Lisa, the Siamese cat, for about a week. She kindly let Trevor play with Lisa one day, and the cat has been Trevor's pride and joy since then.
Trevi loves to dance with Lisa, play hide and seek with her, take her on walks in the backyard, read books to her in the bathroom, and help her practice acrobatic moves. He can often be found building things for his beloved pet. Today, he decided that he would help Lisa find her inner Zen by creating a meditation labyrinth for her. In case she got hungry, marshmallows (aka cylindrical blocks) were placed every few steps.
Lisa was exhausted after all of the questing for spiritual enlightenment, so Trevi built her a fabulous new home, complete with a comfy bed and a two-sided car ramp for playing with her Hot Wheels. Lisa fell asleep before her head hit the pillow. I'm sure she spent most of her REM time dreaming about how lucky she is to have a boy who loves her so much.
