Best Friends

Recently, you have been seriously attached to your stuffed elephant, whom you lovingly refer to as "Ellie." You have another stuffed friend named "Stripes," but don't show him nearly as much love as you show Ellie. In fact, you often punish Stripes with time-outs when you and Ellie are playing together. I asked you last night if Ellie was your best friend, and you said, "Yes!" without hesitation. Later that night when I went in your room to check on you, you were holding Ellie's hand as you slept. It was seriously so sweet.
