Oh, the carnage!

Beth and I have been wondering, as of late, how Maeby will adjust to Baby D. We feel pretty confident that she will get along fine the baby; she's always been great around kids. She's very gentle and loving and protective. So we're not worried about that. We're more concerned about how she'll adjust to not being the center of attention around the house. She's already gotten more cuddly with Beth since she's been pregnant. And lately she's been a bit more demanding for attention. She'll stand and huff at us while we watch T.V., or sit by the door demanding to be taken on a walk. One form her attention-seeking takes is the complete destruction of her stuffed animals. Yesterday I was cleaning up the house, and came upon a graveyard of toys. It seemed like a horror movie: fluffy bunny heads rolling everywhere, stuffed bears without arms, sea creatures reduced to empty shells. So, I had to take a picture.

If this is as desperate as she gets for attention, we're not worried.

oh no! is this the bunny--"Bunny"--that maeby would never destroy? is she turning on those closest to her? i don't know...i think it might be time for professional intervention!

No, fortunately, this isn't THE bunny. That bunny is up on a shelf now, and he's begun to tear a bit. We couldn't stand to watch her tear apart Bunny.
