Grace has never really shown much interest in her soft toys, until recently that is, now Scrumpy Bear (she calls Te-dee) and Monkey (a newly acquired friend) have to go everywhere. Her other dolls and soft toys get attention too, but Te-dee and Monkey seem to have tied for first place (well this week, anyway).

Te-dee and Monkey have the privilege of, getting cuddles, driving in the car and going out shopping, riding on a bike, rocking horse and in a pram, dancing to various songs, getting thrown down the stairs as well as in the sand, and if Grace had her way taking a bath with her.  Monkey was eventually spared participation in the bath and allowed to be a spectator on the side.    Of all the fun activities that they get to participate in I think the most precious is at bedtime.  After Duncan has said goodnight to her she grabs Monkey with her one arm and Te-dee with other and drifts off to sleep hugging them.
