Prized Possessions

I am glad I have held off on writing this one because it is kind of interesting how many times these "things" have changed over the past couple of weeks.

In varying degrees of "have to have it" the Nugget has had some minor obsessions recently ...

First, it was Comfort and Achoo - two beanie baby dogs (one, kind of a beagle and the other a little lab) that she needed to carry with her everywhere including to her crib for naps and bedtime. By the way, we had no part of the naming - she came up with those on her own.

Next it was the three ducks and the blue dolphin - all tub toys that she hasn't played with or touched for literally months. All of a sudden she had to take them everywhere, including in the tub and then to bed. We had to read stories with the ducks (and the regular routine of two blankies and a bink) and they even made it into the Strawberry Shortcake back pack to be toted around.

After the ducks it was Ariel and some other fairie princess doll - it had wings and they too, had to be with the Nugget everywhere, including to bed for naps and bedtime.

Next it was her bouncy balls - you know, various shape/size superballs. Those were thrown, juggled (by me, not the Nugget), put in the backpack and then eventually the princess purse.

Yes, the princess purse was next on the list - she came home a couple weeks ago with her mama declaring, "we go shopping". And she showed off the princess purse which she informed me was "for my makeup". So, the bouncy balls, some chapstick, markers and other random items made it into the purse - that too, had to go to bed with the Nugget.

Well, I guess either she is really fickle, a toddler, or she has too much stuff - probably a little of all three. I am curious to see what is next.
