I don’t think there is any secret to Bridget’s love for PEZ dispensers. Borderline obsessive maybe.

Since the last report on PEZ dispensers Bridget has added a few more to her collection.

• Mrs. Incredible – Thanks again Shauntae
• Lewis (from Meet the Robinson’s)
• The bowler hat guy (also from Meet the Robinson’s)
• Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

Bringing her total number of PEZ dispensers to 27.
Next on her “want list” is Carl, the robot from Meet the Robinson’s.

Since she no longer earns PEZ dispensers from the potty chart, we’ve had to find other ways for her to be able to get them. Just over a month ago we started a reward system for doing chores in which she can earn quarters (you may remember the rain money post). She can spend her quarters on whatever she’d like – but typically she saves them for PEZ dispensers. She has to save 7 quarters ($1.75) to purchase a new PEZ dispenser.

I got online awhile back and ordered about a dozen PEZ dispensers from PEZ.com – all characters she recognizes and many missing figures for sets she already has. Anyway, we have a box of them in the cupboard and when she reaches 7 quarters she can “go shopping” from our selection. Its much easier than trying to track down characters she wants at stores that usually don’t have them.

Anyway…

A PEZ dispensers life around here is one of great importance and propriety. That’s not to say that they are treated like gold, they still get left out and mistreated like all of her other toys – but they are well loved and well played with.

The other day, Bridget told me that she made a “cool train” and that I needed to come see. Want to guess who was riding the train??

The following Day she came in with a stack of LEGO’s letting me know that she’d made a house for her PEZ dispensers.

Its not uncommon to see them sitting at the dinner table, or watching television. The other night they were all lined up on MY dresser, so they could watch me sleep.

She’s so funny!
