She may be assisting them in voice. They may trust her to help them speak or be their face. This is what came to mind when I read what you said about L.J. As far as favorites go, some of our little ones resent the fact that there is a child in our Pride that stands out more than others. In our case the child doesn't feel so alienated by being favored but others inside at times resent that when her name comes up we all light up. But we light up because of what she represents. What she represents for us is what we hold so dear. I should shut up about that. My point is w/ L.J. isn't about favorites but about her possible assistance w/ other littles. She may be a helper in her own right. Austin My comment has to do w/ L.J. and what she may be assisting other littles with. She may be assisting them in voice.
