Or-Or-A-Thing
As I think I previously mentioned, Anna has gone nuts for the albatross characters in the Rescuers and Rescuers Down Under movies. She’s been having Nora and me draw the characters (Orville and his cousin Wilber) regularly, then we cut them out and she plays with them. She makes up stories, has them talk to each other, has them talk to her other toys, and they frequently end up on her pillow at bedtime.
A couple of days ago Nora drew another picture of Orville, but with a purple (instead of yellow) scarf. Anna has christened this bird Or-Or-A-Thing and it appears to be Orville’s cousin. She’s very earnest about the whole thing. To the best of my recollection, Anna has never named any of her toys by anything other than what they are. Meaning, a toy bear is “Bear”, and a toy frog will be named “Frog”.
