Frankie's menagerie

Frankie is currently sleeping with:  two stuffed dinosaurs (Rex and his "other Rex"), a yellow dog, his purple puppy, the Nemo fish, his pillow, his scooby doo blanket, and his "other blanket."  The stuffed animals rotate, and for awhile he and his "Velveteen" bunny were inseperable.  Every night he has to line all the animals up and make sure that they are all there.  There is hardly room for him in his bed!  It cracks me up.  I have also started to tell Frankie stories at night after we read books instead of singing to him like I used to do.  He always requests stories about animals, most frequently elephants or giraffes, and he often remembers the stories and makes up his own stories about the animals the next day.  It is so cute to see his imagination growing.
