Mannequins

Lainey was completely enamored with these mannequins today at Old Navy. Although she knew that they were "just pretend," she still treated them with the utmost respect and I think she would have been thrilled had they been real people. For one thing, it was hard to get her to move away from the mannequins. She successfully pulled one off of its base - I think she had tried to either pick it up or give it a hug, but I'm not entirely sure because I had been looking in another direction...oops. She was also quite determined to hold several mannequins' hands, converse with them, and give the dog hugs. She gave the mannequins names and was ever so concerned that the little girl mannequin was "missing a braid." (She had a giant hole on the back of her head where a bun was supposed to be!) Anyway, it goes without saying that 1) this whole scene was cracking me up and 2) we were getting some seriously strange looks from people (this is happening more and more these days).
