Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Favorite toy

2 Comments

A sheltie friend posted about his favorite toy, so Katie wanted to mention her favorite:

What you say? You’re not sure what this is? It’s a Mr. Froggy! Poor froggy has been sewn up a couple of times, lost his eyes (purposefully, we took them off for safety reasons) and his squeaker squeaks no more. But she loves him anyway.

She’s also fond of:

Mr. Squeaky who makes a loud shrill noise that Katie finds very useful early in the morning or late at night when she feels she isn’t getting enough play time. Sometimes Mr. Squeaky has to be put on a high shelf by Katie’s parents just because. And…

tennis balls! Any tennis ball will do but the smaller ones are especially good for playing fetch. Or dropping near a neglectful parent for a more subtle reminder that it’s PLAYTIME!

But mostly it’s Mr. Froggy who wins the popularity contest among Katie’s massive basket of toys.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  1. Those are some good toys…….especially Mr Squeaky……have you learned the back of the knee push yet – that I what I do to the mom, push my squeaky toy into the back of her knee, just as a gentle reminder that I am there and needing some play time.

  2. Katie pokes her nose (hard) into the side of my thigh as I’m working on the computer or reading, to remind me that she’s around and wants to play. Sometimes she first tries to entice me with one of her toys, and if that doesn’t work she pokes…but never (so far) the back of the knee! 🙂
