Molly's Dolly

You might remember from my first blog post, that we were concerned about how Molly would adjust to being a big sister...Well, apparently there was no need.  Often times, when a new baby is arriving, parents will give their older child a baby doll in preparation for the transition...It seems that Molly has taken it on herself to adopt her own "baby".  Meet Charles, Molly's baby elephant.  For the past few weeks, Molly has assumed the responsibility of being his mommy.  She brings Charles with her everywhere she goes...if she happens to forget him outside in the cold (which she frequently does), she immediately scratches on the door so that she may go retrieve him.  Everywhere you see Molly, Charles is right there next to her.  He's missing both of his eyeballs because she has chewed them off, which is, perhaps, Molly's way of showing love.  We sincerely appreciate that she now has a focus for her irrepressible need to dote on others...Thank you, Charles, sorry about your eyeballs.
