Obie the Owl

Some time ago Bec bought Quinn a stuffed owl at a local arts and crafts fair. He didn't take to it much at the time. Recently though, Bec tried him again and it seems to have caught this time. The Harry Potter association and owl-woods expeditions with Grandpa make the owl a solid choice I think. We've dubbed him Obie, for the alliteration, a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobe and a nod to a new era of leadership south of the 49th. With that many positive associations, how can we go wrong?!

Quinn is very cute with Obie. He hugs him when he goes to bed. It also calms him and gets him back to sleep sometimes at night, which has been a prop eagerly sought but to no avail these past months.

I sense there will be at least one "turn-around-and-go-back" to get Obie in future. Remind me then that I said now it'll be worth it.
