Katie's friends, Nick and Marie, gave her a pig Pillow Pet for Christmas last year. At the time, Katie was scared to get on her rocking horse, so she would sit on the pig and use it as her rocking horse. I would sing a small song, pause, and say, "Pig!" She would then stop rocking and tap the pig's nose as we'd say, "Oink, oink, oink!" It became something that had to be done each time she had the pig. The pig was much closer to the floor than a rocking horse, and therefore, a lot safer in her mind.
Time has passed, and she's anything but scared of her rocking horses, but she still likes to sit on her pig too. When she sits on the pig, she still likes the same routine.
