Sophia occasionally collects stuffed animals and small toys that become "favorites." The first was "Baa" the sheep. Baa still sleeps in her bed but is no longer a constant companion. At the beginning of this month a small monkey began to go everywhere we went. Then Sophia dug a little seal out of somewhere in our house that was meant to be used as a stress-ball. After a week with Sophia, the already forming cracks were becoming bigger and bigger. Then a flipper got amputated one evening at bedtime, so (instead of her freaking out) I put a band aid on the little guy:
I'm happy to report that we "traded" the seal successfully for a second monkey in the toy bin, but we also acquired a puppy (whose nose she popped off) at Grandma's. So now she carries two monkeys and a puppy. When asked the names, the first monkey is called "Lou Chay" and monkey #2 and puppy are both named "Nicole." Those would be her middle and last names, in case you are wondering. :)
There are easily more than a dozen little "friends" in her bed now. And one book.
