Bye bye, doll

Haven't seen Georgina or Bella for a week or so. Today, accompanying us in the stroller, with a little blanket and something to eat, was a plastic tiger. (She is a mother tiger.)

Reminds me of one of Anselm's early cuddled "friends" that he would carry around with him in the backpack: a realistically modeled hard plastic lobster, complete with multiple spiny tentacles. For the last year, the most important friend has been Snake, who is, at least, fluffy.
