Faye's Slight Obsession

It all started on Faye's birthday.  We gave her a stack of books with facts about different subjects: bugs, big cats, science, mythology.  The book she favors from this stack is about sharks.


We read the shark book several times a day.  Faye can even say "sark" and will growl and chomp her teeth while we look at the pictures. (I assume sharks growl, but that may be Jaws talking).

 
On a trip to Thanksgiving Point's museum of awesome, Faye picked out a stuffed animal shark from the gift shop to take home with us.  Since then, Sharky and Faye are inseparable.


They eat meals together.


 This time T-rex joined them.  Such a polite bunch.


Sleep together.


They even watch movies together.  Currently Faye's favorite movie is The Little Mermaid.  While watching it for the first time, she giggled with excitement when the shark came on screen.

If Faye finds a toy fish laying about, she will feed it to Sharky.  We often brush Sharky's teeth when it's bedtime, sing the theme song from Jaws while chasing each other around the house with Sharky, dress Sharky up in bows and tutus, and give him many kisses.
