In about 10 years, he's going to be eligible for creepy doll status, I do believe. Not making fun, just saying that poor little guy has been around forEVER! ;-)Burgh Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09123901504643963583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-55725502419975770582008-08-11T14:13:18.136-05:002008-08-11T14:13:18.136-05:00i love that story!! <BR/><BR/>until a few years ago i slept with my teddy bear that i got for my first christmas. but i washed him. and that was that. and i can honestly tell you that i cried and cried. if i still had him, he would still sleep with me. i have a newer bear, Charlotte, that i have had since i was in high school and i still sleep with her. i don't think you should ever have to give up your lovies. caleb sleeps with a bear and he is 12. he takes him to sleep overs and everything. and of course mikey being 5 has tons of "babies". i don't ever plan on getting rid of mine or my kids. so keep on snuggling with Spiffy!<BR/><BR/>and btw i can sooo see where sophie got her smile!! you two look just alike! :)kayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07769494885540871232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-75263658938513190962008-08-11T12:29:20.863-05:002008-08-11T12:29:20.863-05:00P.S.

Want to know why? Because I am so unorganized and messy that I am afraid we'd lose the thing somewhere and disaster would most certainly come after. <BR/><BR/>Gracie and Evie both have important blankies though. VERY important. Gracie's was a quilt her aunt made (that is now in tatters but we will never throw it out), but Evie's is a nasty promo blanket Jon brought home when he was working with the bank. Ugly but she LOVES it.Cecily Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01833641996572085518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-85157334869763401142008-08-10T22:36:31.649-05:002008-08-10T22:36:31.649-05:00I really enjoyed that post!!!! I can totally identify b/c I have a pillow case that I have to have with me at all times (and I brought it on my honeymoon!) It's my lovie, I admit it. So you're not alone!!!! <BR/><BR/>My older twins still have their blankies and they probably will for a very very very long time. How could I make them get rid of them when Mommy still carries her pillow case around with her everywhere? Doesn't seem fair!<BR/><BR/>Great post!!!Helenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-5542235888509740082008-08-10T21:53:28.174-05:002008-08-10T21:53:28.174-05:00Well, I can relate I still have my favorite stuffed animal from when I was a kid. My Mom or grandmother made it for me and I named her Daisy, and she's a skunk. Heaven forbid someone take her away from me. <BR/><BR/>Therefore, W.W. can keep his blankie for as long as he likes.<BR/><BR/>And you keep hold of yours too!Killlashandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16655705881605627747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-44531624017566940012008-08-10T21:21:08.851-05:002008-08-10T21:21:08.851-05:00I'm with Tommie.

OR ON HER HONEYMOON! YES and her hubby had his too! they were meant to be together. <BR/><BR/>i never took anyone's blankies away, and i had spares too. they gave them up on their own. <BR/>but i save them for them for someday if they want them again. <BR/><BR/>great confession post!Crazymamaof6http://www.blogger.com/profile/12010784861707678433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-12915218466116739832008-08-09T01:33:46.011-05:002008-08-09T01:33:46.011-05:00Why oh why are parents taking lovey's away? eeekkkkk.....<BR/><BR/>What a great post. I appreciate your transparency. I still sleep most nights with the afghan my great grandmother made me 27 years ago. You aren't as strange as you think. :)<BR/><BR/>oh and I MIGHT be posting about this topic. I want to....just need to find the time. I don't understand the taking of lovey's. :(Corey~living and lovinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05719661119360487023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-3949514986903450832008-08-08T22:29:03.489-05:002008-08-08T22:29:03.489-05:00I always wonder if my little girl will be scarred for life if we take her bunny. She sucks her thumb and rubs its ears. Since she is going on 4, she is an orthodontist's dream! <BR/><BR/>But we do plan on taking it (it's going to bunny heaven) when she turns four in Oct. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Now I am feeling guilty!tommiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09744207550343647140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-60710559294752562812008-08-08T21:38:35.627-05:002008-08-08T21:38:35.627-05:00What a great story!photomommyhttp://photomommy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946126231480804274.post-16318099900227681042008-08-08T21:09:38.594-05:002008-08-08T21:09:38.594-05:00Wow! My question is what is (was?) Spiffy, before he arrived at this current stage? I think you'd probably be surprised at how many people are still holding on to their "lovies" (or wubbies, or...well, you get the point) -- including, perhaps, yours truly. The difference is, I don't have the courage to share that information with the rest of the world. <BR/>This was a fun story. And thank you for the kind words on my post, they were appreciated. <BR/>Hang in there Spiffy!Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03689238640477884004noreply@blogger.com
