This is a present from E's fantastic Aunt and Uncle, who live in a far away land. An explanation is probably in order for the part about "Abe". She took a liking to her Uncle Abe over the few days that we spent with the family. Not that she didn't like him before, but she really likes him now. When we were together, she asked, "Where did Abe go?" quite a few times. She was very interested in where he was, at all times. Since returning home, she has asked about him several more times. Then a letter came in the mail, and it included a picture of her Uncle. She now picks him up, tells him that it's ok (as I do with Owen), rocks and shushes him (also mimicking me), and generally takes care of him and puts him places. Today, for instance, she laid him under Owen's floor mat and positioned the mirror so he could see himself. She is a very doting niece indeed.

The horse she wasn't sure about, but as you can see, she likes it now. Thanks again, faraway Aunt and Uncle!
