narwhal, why not?

We are enjoying all things Narwhal here at the Patton house these days. These bizarre creatures have captured the fascination of sweet Lewis and we have been inundated with images, songs, drawings, poems ....you name it. They hail from the whale family and I must admit that I’m smitten.

The song sealed their fate in our hearts. Because we all have a weird sense of cool.



Lew felt the need to strip down and sing it at our New Year’s Party. He taught it to cousin August and they improvised a John Travolta style horn.

Matt went out and got a tattoo of one.

I knitted some narwhal gloves.

and have started a foundation....

"Under water unicorn, they’ve got a kick-ass facial horn."

The least you can do is google the damn things and show your kids.

Do it for Lewis.

And have a nice week.

P.S. I can’t not add this, now can I? Thanks to Stacy and her comment we can now have Narwhal the Game! It works like so (and I quote)......The narwhal uses its tusk to impale the cute animals of the world, specifically baby seals, baby penguins and koalas.

get it here

And it has taken about 5 minutes, but OMG, we totally have had this game at some point in our child rearing lives and I’m not sure if that’s horrible or awesome! Oh wait, it’s awesome. What jogged my memory is the X in the koala’s heart, in the above picture. That guy is rattling around in a toy basket somewhere and we got it here, I worked there in college (among other places) and should you ever be in Athens, GA do not miss it!
