Hoarding

Keeley is currently in a bit of a hoarding phase. She is starting to get more possessive: "my mommy" and "mine" are starting to be much more common phrases. Outside of that, she also really loves the things that she loves. This means that they have to go into her crib when she goes into her crib. Once in the crib, they can't leave the crib, they must stay until she returns to the crib or decides that she needs them. This includes a few odd things. For instance, she has a sandwich making kit by Melissa and Doug. The other night she had to have a tomato and bun in bed. She also insisted that she take a Curious George George (remember she says it twice) and a menguin (penguin) plate in there for a nap.

In case you were wondering just what I mean about hoarding, here is a picture of her crib after a recent nap. Actually, it is two pictures because everything wouldn't fit in one picture.In addition to no fewer than 5 dolls and 10 pacifiers, she also has in there: 4 books, two blankets, a night light, two paper plates, a doll bottle, a box for her pacifiers, a butterfly that rolls (technically it belongs to Kayden), and a pillow from her doll bed. Where does she sleep? Good question. I don't really know how it can be comfortable in there but I will tell you that there is serious protesting it I try to remove anything.

Good thing we are past the SIDS scare....
