Zebra

I honestly never thought that this little toy - a Zebra - would become the most valuable toy in our collection.  Let me assure you though, it most certainly is!  Mr. Fixit has even become tuned into the significance of this toy, as he asked me on our way to church one morning, "Did you bring the zebra?" Yes, honey, of course I remembered the Zebra!

Anyway, we acquired this little guy in a box of clothing from my librarian friend.   This is the toy that "K" must have for sleeping.  He has a love for tags.  So, he holds the Zebra in his right hand, and rubs the tags between his thumb and first finger.  While this is occurring, he sucks his left thumb.  And, I tell you, all - is - right - with - the - world!  If the Zebra happens to fall out of bed or he can not locate it in the night, well, we become alerted to the situation right directly!

On another note, I have to sneak it into the washing machine, each week, for a bath.  Timing is everything, folks.  My goal is to have it clean by naptime!
