Journey of Corduroy…Welcome to my home 

I had the pleasure to bring Corduroy home this week and am trying to make him feel happy and comfortable as a visitor. On Saturday 3/30, my cousin Williams came to visit and I introduced him to Corduroy. Williams said…he’s your new friend? Will he be playing Power Ranger with us? I said…Corduroy is a little shy and he just wanted to hang out and watch. It was a nice Saturday afternoon; I huddled around Corduroy on the couch and took in some warm from the sun. Corduroy was crying a little…maybe he was missing his mom so I tried to cuddle him. We then went to the Park in Quincy to play. First I played a little soccer to warm up, then headed to the playground. It was fun since I had a chance to play outside in a nice day like today. I took a few trips on the slides with Corduroy and he seemed to enjoy it. I took some pictures with Corduroy too. I also introduced a new friend named Toto to Corduroy. They were instantly connected (see the pictures). Toto favorite sport is Soccer as he was proudly wearing a US National team Jersey. Toto also showed off a few ball handling skills (heading the balls in the air for a number of times). Toto asked: Do you like it?” Corduroy said yes…you’re so good at soccer…I wish I could play like you. Toto said, everything needs a passion and practices to achieve this level, so can you. Sunday, I went to Easter celebration at the Church and took Corduroy with me. At the end, the church gave out goodies, snacks and coffee. I took some for my grandpa and daddy. Then I have lunch at home. My mom cooked my favorite dish called “Pho”. It’s a beef noodle soup and is very popular with Vietnamese and also know to some American. Corduroy was a little hesitant to try it first, but after I insisted and he tried and he said “oh wow, delicious Benjamin…can I have more?” In the afternoon, took Corduroy to my Aunt’s nail salon for a pedicure. His feet were a little dirty while playing outside at the Park yesterday and need some foot treatment. At bed time, I took Corduroy and Toto in bed and read them some good stories. It was fun having Corduroy over the weekend. We had a great time together, and Corduroy was so happy with his new friend Toto.
