My son has a few little soft stuffed animals that he likes. I had to buy a duplicate Lamb to send with him to daycare. Unfortunately he has a bear that he really loves … that was sent as a gift from Scotland!

I think I’m going to try to find more lambs (the bear is a lost cause) so that I can finally wash the one that lives in his crib and gets chewed on nightly.

Noah has a dear monkey that he will probably hold as he walks down the aisle at his wedding. It’s unfortunate that we never know which lovey is going to be THE lovey until its been discontinued. We have found a second monkey on eBay but with every passing year they get more expensive. The funny thing is, Noah knows the difference between the monkeys. He loves them both, but prefers one. They have different names. We’ve even tried to trick him, I swear they are identical, but he never guesses wrong. Kids are funny. Even funnier are their names – Cold Monkey and Momma Monkey. When they are apart he tells us that they miss each other. Awwwww.

Mrs. Brown, LOL @ “Big laundry mat in the sky!” Thanks for sharing your method for switching loveys.

We were in a similar circumstances with “Kanga” a lovey brought from Australia by Ellie’s godmom. As Kanga got more and more ratty, I bought two (should have gotten three) ikea rabbits and we spent more than a month were I insisted we had to take both everywhere. Ellie was only interested in Kanga at first, but as Bunny started becoming part of the pack it let us trade off to wash Kanga. Eventually, Kanga went to the big laundry mat in the sky. But that was ok because by then Bunny was a firmly established friend.

I’m a little embarrassed by this, but we are all moms here, I sleep with the trade out bunny the night before we swap to do laundry. Ann Douglas of “The Mother of All Baby Books” calls it “scenting.”

Ariana, he looks like such a big boy now! I can’t believe how much he has grown up since those first few steps caught on camera. He really is too cute!

We’ve got “owl dude”. So cute! Actually, we also have “monkey dude”, “froggie dude”, “gifaffe dude” (you get the idea…the list goes on). Jake is zeroing in on the owl one right now though. Here’s a link:

Also, try getting Jake a Magna Doodle board. Jake loves playing w/ that in the car. Here’s a link:

So sweet!

And Shell’s comment made me LOL – literally!

My DD has a monkey head/blanket thing she lo000ves to snuggle with. Occasionally it’ll make it’s way out of the crib, but we have to be careful if it’s on the changing table because we’ve had too many close calls with it nearly ending up in a poopy diaper.

Here she is snuggling with it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2435/3634265479_17392135bd_o.jpg
