oh god, i remember the days of the loveys for DD ... she had two of those ones that have an animal head with a little blankie attached, and it was a yellow lion and a blue elephant "lie-lie and ellie" Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii probably ended up purchasing 4 different sets over her first few years -_- luckily they were easily attainable on amazon she still has them mixed into the 5000000 other stuffed animals piled on her bed but doesnt seem to care as much anymore A&A brand? C had the elephant. We had 4 with the head and 2 that were just the blanket without the head. Eventually he figured out that we had so many extras and insisted on allllll of them at night. Even at 2 he knew if we left one out. 😒 i don't think they were A&A ... just some generic blue elephant .... but I don't remember for sure. that was her first one, and she WOULD NOT SLEEP even as a newborn without gripping that damn elephant and holding it to her forehead then later, her great grandma got her the lion and so then she added it and suddenly needed both

K's was a blue elephant with letters that he also called Ellie. We had two maybe three at one point. maybe... I know for sure the lion had something written on it

STP I need to know if you got the monster from the woman on Facebook. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere for you in my searches. I hope you were able to get it from her! No, she never responded after our first exchange. I have a feeling it was too much work for her, having to ship it and everything. This makes me very sad I was hoping she came through for you

Omg that listing was almost 6 months old. What is she waiting for? Something better could come along?

I know who I am coming to if ds2 ever lost Giraffey. We have had some real scares when he got lost for more than a few days. I had family/friends scouring the internet.
FX for Frank

My 5yo DS’ stuffie has been “Baby Mickey” forever. Its neck started to get very precarious so I got a new one just for the neck repair window. Of course now he needs both every night. The newer one is “Little Mickey”. They have doll bunk beds in his room and I get in trouble for putting them in the wrong bunk all the dang time even though they are now indistinguishable from each other.

Set up an eBay alert so if one ever gets posted you will get alerted. It may lead to false alarms, but it is how I got my Frosty Chilly and Millie.

He called his Ella.

I tried so hard to make a “lovey” work for my kid. I sewed a cute bunny thing and made it smell like me and did he give a shit and sleep? Nope. He had a bunch others that he kept in his crib for a while but he was never attached to any of them. But I guess it was probably a blessing in disguise.

The more special I tried to make something had an inverse effect on DD giving a shit about it.

DD’s lovey is a puppy my DH got me when I had my gallbladder removed—13 years ago. I’ve tried to find a replacement for years but haven’t had any luck. DS’s is a tiny elephant from Cabela’s and no replacement has been found for him, either. They’ve been warned to be very careful with them but they are still dragged all over the house.

I got him a couple loveys that I thought were great and he had zero interest in them. The twins are very meh on them. One love dog stuffed animals and piles them in his bed but he’s not devastated if he’s missing a particular one. Kids are so unpredictable lol

STP , I got an email to make an offer on ebay from clicking on the monster picture here. Might be worth a try? Not sure what that means; I have purchased all the ones available on EBAY over the past couple of years, lol. NM. it's the mobile version

I made DS a toy and honestly, it was one of my first and I didn't know quite what I was doing and I was on a deadline, and now 7 years later I'm having to patch and repatch Hobbes:
(not that I'm saying your bunny wasn't well sewn, just...I have regrets LOL)

But I guess it was probably a blessing in disguise. yup you dodged a bullet. lol I know I've confessed this on a friday probably years ago but I had a blanket since I was little that I slept with. I took it with me on a university skiing trip, got high and left it in my hotel room. They threw it out since it looked...rough. LOL. I was 20. The best part though is that my great-grandma had knit a back-up, which my mom sent when she heard. My grandma had passed away like 5 years earlier so I was like WHOA. That is mom level planning.

Thanks bobyn, he is very well loved, and DS sleeps with him still. But so far, I've repaired his neck X2, tail X2, made a shirt to protect his tummy which was getting threadbare, and made white "socks" to fit over his paws and whip stitched those on. Totally my fault, I made him out of cheap flannel from Joanns, which is one of my regrets.

This poor FB woman, lol. She was like "why are you pretending to be two people to get this monster?!?11?!" I suppose two such requests after 6 mo is a bit odd. I sent her a message explaining that I have a great mom group and we're just traipsing across the world wide web. lolacachia is my hero, she is securing Frank and sending him to IL!
