Libby, who is not a guide, brings her kong and other toys, but she almost
never gives them up. If you get them from her and toss them, she catches
them fine and may even come back with it, but she won't turn it loose.

Paige comes to me with her Kong, but doesn't like letting go of it.  I
figure that she does enough for me and she's not overly mouthy with other
things she's not supposed to have.  She's more of a solitary player anyway.
