Before Christmas, Maryam went shopping with me and Jim for supplies to sew a new Advent calendar. I was looking at some velvety green ribbon, and Maryam grabbed hold. She would not let go! I decided I didn't need it, but Maryam had other ideas. She had already chewed on the ribbon so much that it just made sense to buy it (if only to keep her from screaming). She even cried when the cashier took it from her to scan.
Now Maryam carries the ribbon around with her. She loves to put it around her neck -- actually, she loves to put EVERYTHING around her neck. It's as close to a blankie as she's ever gotten, but she doesn't sleep with it. She just drags it around until she forget about it. But once she has the ribbon, she doesn't let go, until she forgets again.
