stuff

Camille has always loved her “naffe.” She is starting to add to the list though. Her blanket has joined her obsession. She wants to carry/take her giraffe and blanket everywhere she goes. It’s a constant struggle bc I do not want them brought in public places. Recently she has added an Elmo doll to her collection. Carrying the giraffe and esp the blanket was hard enough but add in her Elmo and it almost pushes her over the edge. So I thought. This weekend she added the Elmo helium balloon that Avery got at Sesame Street Live. She looks so funny carrying it all. It’s such a hassle for her but she insists. If I hand her something like her milk instead of putting all her stuff down and drinking her milk there she insists on carrying it all somewhere including the milk. She just can’t carry it all and it makes her so mad. She is smart though and got out a stroller for it all. The blanket, giraffe and Elmo all sleep with her as well. There are a few other things in her bed but she recently decided she didn’t want the rest of the stuff and started throwing it out. Last night right after putting her to bed I heard this hysterical cry and knew something important had accidentally went overboard. Upstairs I went to find her standing on her tiptoes reaching down as far as she could with a bright red face and Elmo lying on the floor. She was heartbroken. I gave him back to her and calmed her down. It was kind of cute.
