Webkinz

One of Maddie's most recent obsessions in life are these stuffed animals called Webkinz. She talks about them non-stop, asks for a new one every day, wants to take them everywhere with her, you get the picture! A few days ago we were talking about a friend of hers who has 12 Webkinz and Maddie only has 2. Of course you probably already know where that conversation was headed.... So I explained to Maddie that she has something so special that her friend doesn't have, baby Ellie! Her friend wants a baby sister so much that I told Maddie that she would likely trade all 12 of her Webkinz for baby Ellie. Maddie's eyes lit up and she said, "Can you call her mom?"
