So, the kid’s got a lovie.
A security blanket. An attachment object. Or, to put it in her words…. "a woovie."
The two are inseparable. Best friends. Soulmates. Two peas in a pod. And, partners in crime.
A regular Bonnie and Clyde.
When I found the Crayons shoved in the DVD player, I knew who was to blame. The gooey fingerprints and pink lint gave it all away.
When the remote control went missing, I could have sworn I heard that blankie giggle.
She’s a bad influence, that one.
I decided to teach it a lesson. I threw that blankie in the washer with ….how shall I put it?.....some less than delicate items. When it came out of the laundry, my toddler seemed to be even more attached.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess.
The bond is unbreakable, I tell ya.
I suppose my toddler and her lovie are meant to be.
Together forever. United for all eternity in love and Play Doh. Never to part. Simply inseparable. Tried and true.
Maybe I gotta get me one of these? Might just take the edge off. No?

I've noticed with my toddlers "lovie" (a ratty bear affectionaltely known as Stinky Bear)the worse he smells, the more she likes him. I am afraid to wash Stinky Bear for fear he will fall to pieces. Gawd help us if she ever loses him..the thought makes my tummy roll.
I think everyone needs a lovie. Definitely!
My daughter still loves her blankie at the age of 21!
I had to wash my girl's lovie. It smelled like pee and other stuff. She didn't stop crying until it was out of the dryer!!
The remote control is my lovie:)
Yes, definitely get yourself one of them! Mine is my computer :D
That's so sweet!!! Bear has a dolphin that he's inseparable with!
My son hasn't picked one lovie yet. I keep wondering if he will.
I think we could all definitely use one.
My daughter has a lamb. She doesn't carry it around during the daytime. But, she can not sleep without it.
I need a lovie too!!!
Lol! I wonder? The kids I nanny for have their blankies & they r so germ infested because they drag them everywhere...ick.
I have back-up lovies. It is that bad at our house. And washing them is sneaky business. I slink in while she is sleeping and have it done by the time she gets up.
Isn't it the truth? Sadly our "lovies" grow up too soon and no longer want to be smooshed and slobbered over.
Wah.
Hmmmmm, your little one may have the edge on a VERY GOOD thing...I think we should all have a lovie and see if the world goes round a little more peacefully!
HAHAHAHA!!! LMAO!!
If ever Mama gets tired of lovie before dear daughter, you could try what a family friend did. Every time lovie went for a dip in the washer and dryer it came out a bit smaller. Hmmmm . . . how did that happen?! Finally lovie was about a 2X3 inch rectangle that could fit quite nicely into a pocket.
Just a thought for down the road.
My son and his "bodot" (blanket) are inseparable. If more than two hours pass without it, he's asking for it, every three seconds. It's so comforting for him. And yes I could use one too.
My boys have them too. They call them "guggies" don't ask.
Yesterday, I washed Asher's. He cried the entire time. It was so much fun.
Maybe you don't want one...
One daughter has a cow. He used to have a bit of fluff on the end of his tail. Not so much anymore. Even the tag has been reduced to a little string hanging out his butt.
My other daughter has a pink blanket. I should say, has TWO pink blankets. We thought we'd be smart by getting two so one could be in the wash while she snuggled with the other one. Easy-peasey way of keeping a child happy because she always has that ONE special blanket, right? You gotta be sneakier than the smart baby who figures out there are two blankets and now (at three) won't give up either one of them.
