Av’s ‘friends’

Here are all Av's friends on their cots going "night-night."

Av has many many ‘friends’ that she plays with all day everyday and takes them from floor to floor with her in our house and she must sleep with them all. They are just her stuffed animals but we have always called them her 'friends.' Let me see if I can remember them all. Monkey (the first friend ever), ducky (what she slept with at school when she napped there), periwinkle (from when I took her to Blue’s Clues), Mickey (the horse John bought her named after the first horse she ever rode), school blankie (the blanket that she slept with at school, Matt’s mom made it for her), and Good Luck Bear (Care Bear, this one is the newest. She has had it forever. John bought it for her when she was first born. We took it to every one of her many many many dr appointments we went on with her. It brought us good news each and every time. It has been sitting up on her shelf till the other day when it came down and now goes everywhere with her). She sleeps with all of those ‘friends.’ During the day though she adds baby Rachael, baby snow white, another baby, 2 pillows and many blankets to the mix. She puts all her ‘friends’ night-night on their cots for nap while I am putting Camille down for hers. Then she gets them all up and folds all the blankets (about 10 of them). She is something else.
