Saving Dora

December 18, 2014 by Elizabeth

Foxie has an interesting relationship with her dolls. She almost always carries at least one with her, and we wouldn’t think of putting out the enrichment for the day and not including a handful (or several handfuls) of trolls and Doras. As much as Foxie likes having her dolls with her, she also doesn’t mind being separated from them – temporarily. She’ll toss one to a caregiver, or Jamie will swipe one to entice Foxie into a game of keep-away. But Foxie almost always reaches a point where enough is enough and she wants her “baby” back.

Today a Dora doll was stuck in a toy and Foxie was determined to get it out.

After awhile, Foxie had had enough and grew increasingly upset. With one final pull, she freed Dora, and then screamed at the offending toy for good measure.

    I laughed until I cried, probably because I handle frustration the same way Foxie does. Thank you for a wonderful video!!

    I understand Foxie’s reaction! I’ve always been impatient and I must admit I’ve kicked and thrown a few things in my time. Great video!
