Friend

I was reading an article about your child's snuggli (pillow, blanket, favorite stuffed animal, etc.) and how you should always have a stunt double. But having the stunt double isn't good enough, you need to make sure that they are wearing at the same time so when one gets lost you can quickly and without notice pull out the other and have the same stinky, dingy looking snuggli to take the place of the lost one.

Allie's snuggli, or Friend as she calls him, is her gloworm. We had a perfect stunt double... up until Hawaii last May where we think the cleaning ladies wrapped him up in the sheets while changing the bed and carted him away. It was half way into our 8 day trip and we thought the world was going to end... but amazingly she didn't seem to miss him at the time. Not sure that would be the case today. She carries her friend all over the house with her and bedtime preparations is usually spent searching the house for 5 minutes (ok, maybe slight exaggeration since our house isn't that big) trying to find where she last put him down.

I'm not going to get a stunt double again. Since she never leaves the house with him anymore I think we are safe with just the one. I know... famous last words right?!
