Little R's Latest Obsession

Little R's favorite possession, by far, is her elephant feely. She sleeps cuddled with it for every nap and bedtime, carries it around the house, and will go fetch it whenever she is feeling sad, frustrated or tired. It got really grungy and filthy, so I finally hand-washed it (why do they make products for infants that aren't machine washable??).

Now the elephant is again pink, instead of a faded shade of grey: but it still looks rather worn around the edges.  Little R doesn't care though; she loves the elephant with all her heart. Her new favorite activity is to carry around the elephant by putting its trunk in her mouth and clamping down. This leaves her hands free for other forms of mischief or destruction.

It's pretty cute.
