Who is Mort? Well, Mort is a little lemur from the movie Madagascar, who is also on the TV show Penguins of Madagascar. Mort is Peyton's best friend. Mort is tiny, and fits in his pocket, he is three just like Peyton, but he also goes to work, school, the store, because Lemurs can do that when they are 3. Mort sometimes gets in trouble though, because he runs away from Peyton at the store sometimes and Peyton has to go looking for him, which in turn gets Peyton in trouble. Mort has a special place in our car inbetween Jackson and Peyton's carseat and he has a tiny seatbelt that fits him. Mort has been a part of our family for more than a year. I think it was about a few months after Jackson was born, when Mort first showed up as Peyton's imaginary friend. He is also often accompanied by Mort's friends King Julian and Maurice. Tom and Jerry, Curious George and the Man with the yellow hat have also been to our house lately. Once they all came to the park with us. Once I heard that if your child has an imaginary friend, then that means they are very smart, well, with this list, I am pretty sure Peyton is going to be a genius!
So, with all that background, here is Mort.
Mort doesn't have his own room here, so Peyton decided that maybe Mort needed his own house, so we built one during Jackson's nap.
This lincoln log set belonged to Craig's oldest son Justin (who is now 18) and I have just had it in the basement. Peyton has loved playing with it and building things.
Jackson woke up and destroyed it not long afterwards.
Jackson recently learned how to say Peyton. He says "Peyta"
Peyton being silly for the camera.
