Hello Kitty and Orange Kitty

Anna and her favorite toys, Hello Kitty and Orange Kitty.  She talks about these guys all day and makes up all kinds of stories.  Just today before her nap she gave Hello Kitty some pretend ice cream.  Before she went into her crib, she said that Hello Kitty needed a spoon and she didn't want Orange Kitty to gobble up all the ice cream before Hello Kitty got it.  She told me to go tell Orange Kitty not to gobble all the ice cream.  Whenever something is lost, she says, "Maybe Orange Kitty took it?"  They mostly eat cat food in the basement and sometimes chocolate (or today, chocolate ice cream).

There's also Mean Kitty...she likes to talk about him too.  She decided that he eats sand and rocks and talks in a low voice.  He mostly says, "I don't like you silly kitties."   She completely invented the idea of Mean Kitty.   There are no books or shows that have a "mean kitty" she just decided that he exists.  He's usually black but she has said that he was white before.  He lives in Auntie Carrie's basement (we might've suggested that idea to her once and it stuck...sorry Carrie, that's what happens when you let street cats into your house). 

Anna's other favorite "toys" are her toes, or as she likes to say toesies.  She makes them talk with a high voice and always wants to see them.  Lukey still likes the same things-cars, running around, riding bikes and big wheels.  He has now started reading too.  He learns more and more words every day.  He likes to count a lot too.  His favorite number is 20.  Their current favorite song is Volcano by Jimmy Buffet.   Their favorite show is Kipper.
