Delaney really likes the usual cast of characters—Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Cinderella and the other princesses, Dora, and Lightning McQueen.  None of these, however, compare with Clifford the Big Red Dog.  Mainly, it’s the books she loves, but she also will also sit and watch Franny do her Clifford phonics computer game.  Throughout the day, she come up to me with a book and ask Clifford, read?  or climb up in my lap while I’m checking email, point to the screen and say Clifford!   Without question, he is hands down the unrivaled favorite.  Today, the kids’ playgroup went to Chuck E. Cheese, which is just a little old for her.  But, there to save her day was Clifford.  She went on this gentle ride with the ‘woof’ button all morning as Cole ran around playing games and collecting tickets.  Our table was close to Clifford, so she was able to do her little ride, come back to the table, pick up another token, and head back.  I don’t know if she is independent by nature or by necessity, but it definitely worked out well today, since Cole still needs help with a lot of the games he wants to play.  Needless to say, Clifford was my favorite today, too!
