Lovies

Reese has been attached to her Lovey (a flat, green elephant) since she was a baby.  I think I wrote on the blog awhile ago that one day Reese found our back-up Lovey that was supposed to be used when one was in the wash or if it ever got lost.  So, she has been carrying around and sleeping with two Lovies for quite some time.

Today, I heard a shriek and Reese came running downstairs...
Reese: "Mom!  Look!  Another Lovey!!!"
Mommy: (astonished and thinking to myself "crap") "Wow.  Where did you find it?"
R: "In my top drawer." (of her dresser)
M: "How did you see in your top drawer?"
R: "I used my bean bag and stacked pillows on top!"

So, with that discovery, we now have 3 Lovies -- "Lovey", "Other Lovey" and "Third Lovey".  And Reese loves each one of them.

I'm now trying to introduce Emmy to a lovey with the hope she will become attached and it will help soothe her in the future.  We are calling Emmy's lovey "Lovey Bear."  I think I'll just keep one "Lovey Bear" in the house at a time.
