Almost a year ago when we moved into our "new" house, Timmy lost his dear friend- Tugs. (a stuffed elephant who became his favorite). Timmy is the type that needs his comfort item in order to settle down- so after a week- EVERYONE was missing Tugs. Timmy found a small little (old fashioned) Pooh Bear in his stuff animal collection who felt a lot like Tugs. So- Pooh bear soon became a close friend.
This all took place during a traumatic time for Timmy- he just gained a new brother (jury was still out on whether or not that was a good thing), we moved from the house he knew & loved to a different one and Gammy & Papa left for their annual trip to FL. Pooh bear was there for Timmy in a time of need and it appeared as if that stuff animal was permanently attached to Timmy.
About 2 months after "losing" Tugs- he was found. And although it was exciting- Pooh bear still remained in the #1 spot. But on those occasions when Pooh bear is lost- Tugs is "the man"... it's so wonderful having 2 comfort pals!
So- this past week, Pooh bear was lost again- this time for a few more days than normal. Tugs was around but yesterday Pooh bear was found (I remembered he went missing the day I exchanged the 18mo for the 24 mo clothes and figured he got mixed in the shuffle... which he did).
I literally started counting and so far today, Timmy has said "I'm so glad Pooh bear is back" (or something close) FIVE times. He also asked to put Tugs on a shelf... we think he gets the fact that it's nice to have one on reserve- just in case.
Here is pic of our happily reunited Pooh Bear & Timmy (w/ Tommy & Tugs too :) ]
