Lately Cortney has been in love with ponies so much! She loves playing with all her little random ones she has gotten over the past 3 years. She made up some names for them, I am sure they will change over the years, but I wanted to write them down so I wouldn't forget!
Without further adieu here they are:
This is a group shot, but I thought I would introduce them in smaller groups:
These two are Mommy and Cortney. She has had Cortney (the little one with pink hair) for the longest. I think Paul or Jackson gave it to her when we were in Hawaii for the wedding, so she was about 7 months old. Mommy she got next, and I think it was just a little cheap pony we found at a grocery store, while we were living in Texas. But it is bigger than Cortney, and it was the next one we got, so it is Mommy.
This is Gressen (like Gretchen but no tch only an s sound.) She got this one for Christmas when she was 2, if I remember right we found it at DI for like a quarter (gotta love DI)
These two I got from the dollar tree right before we moved to Salt Lake to entertain Cortney on the plane. The black one is Daddy, and the grey one always changes names, but today it was Tom. Usually it is some made up name I cannot comprehend.
She got these lovely beauties for her last birthday in January. the blue one is Tess, the white one is Buss (like puss but with a b), and the pink one is Kayla. No idea really where she got the names, but they are always the same, so their names are set in stone. I thought she got 4 ponies for her birthday, but maybe I am wrong, because I have gone through everything a couple times and cannot seem to find it, so there might be another one out there somewhere...
This baby one is Corkayla (Cortney + Kayla = Corkayla) I think this one came with the big one from DI, so she got it on her second Christmas.
And of course we cannot leave out Maximus from Rapunzel. Sometimes he plays with the ponies, but mostly he plays with Eugene and Rapunzel, but I didn't want to leave him out. She got this one with a Rapunzel toy set for this last Christmas
So that is the gang, Cortney has been stuck on this pony stage for a while. The other day she was playing with her little people and I listened in to hear this:
"Here Cortney this is for you"
"Oh mom thank you for this pony it is beautiful"
"Your welcome honey"
I can gain two things from this, 1 - I am raising a well mannered girl because even her toys use their manners, and 2 - Someone wants a pony.
Sorry Cort we live on the third floor of an apartment building, living on a limited budget - I don't think a pony is in the near future. I am going to have to take her to a petting zoo or something so she can be up close to a real one, I think in her mind ponies are pretty colors, have sparkily hair, and can talk. I love that she has such a great imagination!
