A Few of Her Favorite Things

Little One knows Her mind, and She plays favorites. Some things get special treatment for a time, but then the novelty wears off and they get abandoned like so many purses in my closet. But there are a few faves which appear consistently on the top of Her charts. I thought surely you Peanuts will want to know what She endorses. In case you are missing out on the latest trends. For example:

The number one all time bestselling book around here is "Mr. Brown can Moo". By Doc Seuss. Oprah, have you heard? This read is hilarious!
(Runners up include "peek-a-who" and "ten nine eight". "Fox in Socks" is still popular, but only if Daddy reads it.)Ducks. Rubber ducks, soft ducks in the farm book, the duck in Her tug boat. The duck on Her car seat. Ducks ducks ducks. Ducks in the bath, especially.
BROCCOLI. This child can just about consume Her weight in little steamed trees. She crams it into Her mouth so fast Her cheeks go all chipmunky. She eats it until we are sure it will start leaking from Her ears and belly button. Eventually we have to just cut Her off.
The doggies. She reaches out and cries for them when they get put outside, or when we leave without them. She squeals in delight when She sees them. She terrorizes them constantly. Especially E. Little One is now speedy enough to chase her around. To climb over like a furry little mountain. To hook Her talons into E's fur and try to pull to a stand.
This Thing. This wins as the King of All Favorite Stuffs. It is a plastic palm tree. With a little purple monkey thing attached. It's not even a toy in its own right; it's a piece of the activity board on Her anchored walker. Why Her love affair with this palm tree is so deep, devoted, and unending we have NO idea. But there are not even words to describe how much she adores it. She never gets sick of it, it always makes Her smile.
Oh yes. And:
So there you go. In the unlikely and unfortunate events of dog bites or bee stings, you are now prepared.
