The kids have a lot of stuffed animals. About every other day, Emily finds one that she gets attached to for a day or two. We tend to ask what the animal's name is. Most of the time, it's a fairly predictable name, like "Tiger" for a stuffed tiger or "Miko" for a monkey (the name of Kyle's monkey which we named - the quick story: we asked people how to say monkey in Spanish and we heard miko, mono and chongo and miko was the one that stuck, yet most people we have talked to since haven't heard that miko means monkey in Spanish). Yesterday, Emily decided that she loved a little tiger that's a hand puppet. She says, "is he so soft Mommy? I love him!" I asked her what his name is. She paused for a moment, thought, and then said, "His name is Stripes Mommy!" It was the first time she has named her stuffed animal something other than what it actually is! And she has carried Stripes around for the past 2 days. It's really very cute!
