Ellie's Gone Batty

I am very amused by the Autie child's sudden and intense attachment to her new pink T-Ball bat. I gave it to her at 3:45, and she's sleeping with it. She hasn't put it down! She wouldn't go to bed and I couldn't figure out why. I finally realized she thought she couldn't take it to bed with her! Marty's had a blue bat for two weeks and she showed no interest, but this is HER bat, and believe me she isn't going to put it down!
