The first picture shows a few of the various (very cute) stuffed animals and other "lovies" we have bought over the last two years and tried to get Soren to bond with. Cost = probably in the neighborhood of $500.

The second photo shows the winner of the contest. Nope, no cute lion, no hand knitted blanket from Auntie Kim, no felt Ninja from Paris, no 3-foot blue cat, no . Femmin loves his pillowcase! Luckily they come in packs of two from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Cost = $29.99 minus 20% of BBB coupon.
