LOL!


In honor of Rebecca's last post that had me on the floor in laughter, here's a post asking if you remember your kiddo's soothing techniques. So Averey's was the BOOB...lol!


Sierra's was, is and always has been HAIR. As a baby and toddler she was lovingly wrap her little hand up in my hair..it would soother her. It was the most sweetest thing- her little head on my shoulder, sucking her thumb, hand in my hair.


Then she began twisting her own hair while falling asleep and did that for YEARS. Still today at age 10, she loves the feel and smell of my hair :o)


Also she was a thumb sucker (at bed time)

My son used to play with my hair while nursing but nothing ever stuck with him


My daughter on the other hand has a blanket--handmade that was given to us at the hospital as I walked out the door--we call it blankie as if it is a person "where is blankie" not "where is the blankie"--she still sleeps with it every night at my house (she doesn't require it at her dads) and she has to have it tucked just so to go to sleep (she tucks it between her legs!) I love it because even though she is 13 she is still my little girl!

My son has to have his back rubbed everynight before he will go to sleep.He is 4 so its a comfort thing to him.He still is a boobie baby though.He was never breast fed as he was premature but he had and at times still has a tendency at the grocery store when we will be stopped or standing in line and you kinda lean over the handle to work his little hand down the front of my shirt and just rest it there.I guess its the warmth.I never thought anything of it til last year he was doing it and my ex asked,"Why are you letting him stick his hand down your shirt in public." As goofy as it

My DD has a "blankie" and she calls it the same as your DD does "blankie" but she has "kitty" that goes hand in hand. She never carried a stuffed animal or was really all tha interested in one until she was jsut about 1.5. A kid that worked for my ex took her to a knock off build a bear next door to his work one day while we were visiting him and she came back 10 mins later with kitty in hand. She goes everywhere now. SO now our bedtime routine is get blanike, kitty and snuggle for 30 mins on the sofa watching nemo or mermaid or some random cartoon. Then she goes in and down for the night. I have to say its one of my favorite times of the day.

My MonkeyBunny loved his BunnyBunny... it was a small blankie with a satiny edge and a stuffed bunny head as part of the blankie, in one corner. He took that thing with him EVERYWHERE, and there was a time when he couldn't sleep unless he had it. But once he had it with him, and rubbed his fingers on that satiny edge... he was OUT. It was like magic! lol He could literally fall asleep anywhere.


I still have the BunnyBunny but I won't let him play with it- because it's shredding and I want to keep it as intact as I can, for a keepsake! Of course, I didn't take it away from him... I just took off with it for safekeeping once he grew older and abandoned it himself.


Aw, my little MonkeyBunny!!! He's no longer that chubby baby anymore!

Awwww, shrimpy- those pictures and the bunny blankie story are so sweet. Something about the innocence of them and thenthings that made them feel safe- I love remembering those things.
