That all changed yesterday. The Squirt became extremely attached to this stuffed bunny- the only stuffed animal we have only one of. So, of course Bunny was jealous and I could see things were deteriorating fast. A quick run to Target yielded two identical stuffed monkeys.
Now we officially have loveys. We can't go or do anything without them. They can't take monkey into their highchair- so it's a decision between food and monkey. Monkey is winning! Agh!
Logan and I have decided to squelch this before it gets too bad. Tonight... after the girls are asleep, we're planning a stealth operation to snatch and trash the monkeys. Hoping that all the fun of Christmas will make us forget monkeys ever existed. It's cruel- but necessary!
aww but they're so cute!! Cayden's is his blankie and we've tried giving him another one but he won't stand for that! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny, we to thought we would not have to deal with the loveys, and our almost three year old has decided she cannot live without her baby blankie. Aghhh! I myself should plan a stealth operation!
ReplyDeleteI always thought he would be cute the have a child with a lovey. Neither boy was interested in a special toy or blanket until Trevor was around the age of your girls!! Now he loves his green blanket and it's a PBK discountinued blanket from when Shane was born. You are noy mean but a realiest and it will save you so much time and tears in the future!!! Good luck!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are just too cute!! I love their loveys!
ReplyDeletewe, so far, have avoided the loveies (thank all that is holy). i had one growing up...in fact, i still have it, and just barely quit sleeping with it a couple of years ago, and i turned out alright, right? right. ;)
ReplyDeleteBUT, i didn't have to drag mine everywhere, i just needed it to sleep with. and i wouldn't want my kids attached to something they had to take everywhere in order to live. what a pain!! let us know how the opperation goes, lol!
awww! thats way too cute!
ReplyDeleteNorah never had a lovey- just a binky... Evan on the other hand cannot live without Mr. Green (his green blanket) He only gets it to sleep with, but it just makes bedtime SO nice. BTW- we have a duplicate- just in case!
ReplyDeleteOur stealth operation was successful... so far. We haven't had one request for "monkey" yet. (and the peasants rejoice)
