A Boy and His Giraffe

My goal for this particular afternoon was to get some pictures of Holden with his beloved frog blankie. He carries it around the house and snuggles with it when he naps—he’s a lot like Linus from Peanuts with it.  It’s always smelly and disgusting and I have to wash it when he’s not home so that he won’t freak out.  

But before we headed outside, he tossed the blankie down and happily grabbed this giraffe instead.  He has shown no interest in this giraffe for 2 years, but he picked it up and said “jaff pictures!”  In the few days that have passed since we took these pictures, he has been playing with this giraffe constantly.  

Giraffes are cool.
