Girls And Trucks

Laney's truck in time-out

Elliot loves, loves truck---really anything with wheels. He pushes them around the house and crashes them down our back steps. Lately, he's been sleeping with a couple of his little trucks. For some reason, I was resistant to letting him take trucks into his bed---but had no problem with Laney's 10 favorite stuffed animals filling up her crib. But I soon realized that his trucks are just as comforting to him as Laney's stuffed animals.

Laney likes to play with Elliot's trucks too---especially the ones with faces and that sing songs. She carries the trucks around like babydolls, covers them with blankets, reads to them and even puts them into time-out (when they've been fighting!). She hugs them and gives them kisses.
