He carries it everywhere--but only by the very tip...because he's gentle like that. He hasn't even torn the tag off, he loves it so much. We'll see how long this lasts (its been over a week so far).
The banana cost us just over $1 at Target. Totally worth it. It was part of a "fruit bowl" that was on clearance for $5. It included a frisbee (the plate) that Riley loves to lay with outside, a pineapple with crinkly leaves that Chase also likes to cart around and toss in the air, a tennis ball, the banana and a lime that Riley loves so much she will place it on the chair/couch/bed under her and sleep on it so Chase can't play with it while she's not watching. We bought the fruit bowl assuming that the toys wouldn't last through the entire weekend. Boy were we wrong! Best and cheapest toy purchase ever. They haven't even shredded a single one, even though that is their usual modus operandi with plush toys. The banana, though, and that way Chase carries it around, just makes me smile.
