Stripes are Alexa's preferred pattern of the moment. She loves them, and they must remain entirely visible at all times. This has led to some interesting outfits. Note the pajamas under the striped shirt.

Alexa has also decided she needs clear visibility of her food. Today, in desperation, I adapted a sorter for paper clips and pens into an ad hoc "TV tray" for the striped generation. Alexa was quite pleased that none of her food "touched".
