A New Kind of Family

This is Elaine's "family". She loves them more than the real thing, I think. She carries them from room to room. She hugs and kisses them constantly. She reads to them, bathes them, and puts them to bed in her room. They sometimes have to go in the car with us. She knows where they are at all times. I have heard her call them Mom, Dad and Charlotte. I believe Charlotte is the pink and white soccer ball. It is really interesting and funny to see how she treats them.
