Meredith's Friends

Meredith has a serious love of all things stuffed. You will always see her with her very best friend, Pinky (and maybe even two or three of them depending upon the day) and often Pinky is accompanied by any one of many other favorites at the moment - these include Grover (a gift from Uncle Mike to Jillian, that was adopted by Meredith until Jillian could truly appreciate his greatness), Matt-a-hat (or you might know him as Cat in the Hat - it isn't that Meredith can't say that, she will tell us "I have a cat, his name is Matt-a-hat"), then there are hundreds of puppies, a few dolls, a penguin from Sea World (or Quinguin), her turtle (that she got at the Halloween carnival and named Jesus), and probably just about anything else you could find in the zoo or on a farm. They are all happiest when in bed with her, of course. I, from time-to-time, move a few into the playroom so that there will be a little room for Meredith to sleep to. It is always so cute to go in and check on her after she falls asleep - she sometimes lines them up so they all have their head on a pillow, but the other night, she had just surrounded her with all of her friends, including my bear that Neal gave me for Christmas when we first started dating. She was really excited to get to sleep with Mommy's bear!


She also loves to just play with all of her friends. Here she made them a "carouself" out of her Minnie Mouse umbrella and twirled them around in circles. She tells each to take turns and puts them onto their own little section very carefully. Too cute.
