demanded the little squash to come to bed with her. Without giving it a second thought, I fetched the squash and placed it in bed next to her. I tucked it in and gave it a kiss, as per her request. That night, same thing. It didn't occur to me that it was even unusual (Remember, we used to put cans of soup to bed) until Marc wondered aloud, "How long do you think she'll sleep with a squash in her bed?" Oh yeah, totally bizarre right? The squash has started sitting with her while she eats and sometimes she pretends to feed the squash some soup. Little does the squash know, it is not a baby. And someday it may end up being soup! I love that! Aurora has a large plastic water toy that she calls "Apple" and it is her child. Sometimes Apple comes to bed with us as well. Mummy usually puts Apple down on the floor once Aurora is a sleep.... She'll also sit and chat with Apple while rocking it in her arms. Perhaps Squash and Apple should come have a play together!! I absolutely love it, Little Miss Gabrielle! You're lovely!
