Fallon and Porter always seem to get attached to certain toys or other objects, as the case may be. Lately, Fallon cherishes her My Little Pony collection, as well as a small catalog with pictures of small model horses.
Today, after we returned from a small outing, she spent about half an hour tearing individual pages out of the catalog and then asking me to tell here the name of each item on each page. This evening, she went to sleep in her bed with a handful of the torn-out pages snuggled close to her.
She's also enjoys propping a book open on her bed against the wall and then falling asleep. Books (especially her fish encyclopedia) and her horses are her favorites to curl up with.
Porter has a slightly more unusual trend of objects that he cherishes. First their was the 20' length of high-quality rope that I bought from REI. He slept with that for a week or so. Then there was the vinyl stuffed animal bowling set (which he referred to as his "friends"). And lastly, just this evening, is the gold finch bird feeder that I bought for him and Fallon to set up. It's in his bed now, tucked under his blanket, right next to him.
It really nice to see them so happy with such small things; and somehow it warms the heart even more when these unusual items end up snuggled next to them in bed - and are the first thing they look for when they wake up the next morning.
