When we were looking at our van and considering buying it, Heidi found this cheap bobble-head cat/mouse thingy in the area where the side doors move back and forth, and she has been very possessive of it ever since we bought the van. She keeps it in the cup holder of her car seat (which we never used in the Honda Accord because it adds about five inches to the car seat--not that we generally allow drinks in the car anyway), and she likes to hold it whenever we drive somewhere. When she's not in the car it rattles around in the cup holder and I have to take it out so it doesn't feel like something's about to fall off the bottom of the van.
When Kevin asked what it was at the car dealership, Ryan just said, "It's a piece of junk." So occasionally on car rides we hear Kevin call out, "Can I have the piece of junk?" Heidi, on the other hand, has named it Meow-Meow.
Also notice her brown shoes. I dug them out of one of the boxes of Kevin's old clothes for her to wear because she has lots of nice shoes and no shoes that are playground-appropriate. Now they are her favorite. She gets them out of her shoe drawer and holds them out while saying, "Johnny, Johnny!" because apparently she associates them with her boyfriend friend from down the hall.
