Most kids have some item they are attached to. We've been loving Tigger almost as long as we've been loving Simon. He's the "go-to" comfort for our little man. Claire hasn't really formed any attachment to any item. I tried introducing a lot of sweet stuffies to her and she'd like them for a bit and then ditch them for the next best thing. No blankies, suckies would soothe her at all.
Then, we met "blue ball". This is a tiny Zooble baby that I'm pretty sure she stole from the kids we share a baby-sitter with. She's carried this little ball in her hand all spring and summer. That means I have spent endless hours searching for "blue ball" when it's gone missing.
We have rules. "Blue ball" stays in a safe place (Momma's jewelery dish in our en-suite) when we go out. We don't cry when "blue ball" goes missing because it always turns up (and miraculously, it does).
Not sure what the attachment is but, she's napping with it clutched in her chubby little baby hand. It makes her happy so, it makes me happy.
