My Mom relayed a story from a friend of hers (someone whose children I grew up with)-one of the children had a baby a while ago, and they took a photo each week of the baby with the same stuffed animal, so that after the first year they had a whole series of photos with the same animal and you could see how the baby grew. We picked the elephant because that's kind of special to her Dad and me- after the whole "You're my elephant" incident we made the stuffed elephant for her to have, and one day we'll tell her the story of why she has so many elephants, including a new blanket that Dad insisted on even though we had no need for it.
