Mia and Her Glow

Mia is very attached to her Glow-Worm which we affectionately call Glo. Actually, she has three of these dolls. None of them play music like they are supposed to. She throws them from her crib each morning, so it doesn't take long for them to break; we have taken their music boxes out so they aren't so hard when one hits something. She absolutely loves them though; they calm her down faster than anything else. If she falls down, she immediately starts saying "My Glo! My Glo!" and she will run to her room to find one. We have to make certain we have at least two, but preferably all three, before nap time and bed time to put in the crib with her.

Tonight, I heard Mia talking after I put her down, so I turned to monitor on to spy on her (I love having a video monitor!). I could hear her saying "Glo are you? Glo are you?" which is her way of saying "Glo, where are you?" I watched as she picked up one Glo, looked at her in the dark, throw her behind her, say "Glo are you?," pick up a second Glo, look at her, throw her behind her, say "Glo are you?," pick up the third Glo, look at her, say "Ah!" and lay down while clutching that particular Glow Worm tightly. Can she somehow distinguish between the three identical Glow Worms? It sure looked that way on the monitor! Our little Mia is something else!
