9 is enough

About a week ago, Parker decided that instead of dragging around 1 or 2 stuffed animals, she'd pick 9 of her favorites to carry with her to bed and back. It was quite a production, getting all nine arranged in her arms without dropping anyone...so I found her a bag to help her situation. I really though she'd get over it in a couple days, but no, a week later she was still hauling these guys up and down the stairs every morning and evening. The roll call was really impressive. She'd wake up in the morning and realize that someone was missing....and sure enough, Bunny was stretched out on the couch, enjoying some alone time. I chose the hard road of not helping her with her packing and hauling, no matter what the degree of drama she produced (Bob may have been more of an enabler). I kept thinking that Octomom's mom had this similar situation at one point and wimped out and helped. Well, I'm happy to report that this morning, since she wasn't going to get any of my assistance, she'd culled the herd to a reasonable manageable 5 favorites. Maybe in a week we'll be back down to two.
