The Bunny Blanket

When we first brought Lia Kate home some friends of ours gave us a sweet bunny lovey blanket. Meanwhile, our hope in those early days was that Lia Kate would develop a comfort item so that she could self-soothe and start sleeping better at night. She had lots of loveys/stuffed animals/dolls/blankets to choose from, but bunny ended up being THE ONE. She is so attached to her bunny (i.e. "buh-ee") and she drags it all around the house. When she needs comforting she puts the bunny's arms up to her nose ... we jokingly call this "taking a bunny hit." We recently left on a road trip and got 30 minutes out of town when we realized we had left bunny blanket, so we promptly turned around to go back. That's how important bunny is around here.

And, how much we value our sleep.

Anyway, poor bunny often looks a little dingy because it gets dragged all over our floors we have to sneak it away just to wash it. But, dingy or not, we're so glad she has her bunny.


And she is too.




As Danny's parents say, "too bad this girl doesn't have any personality!"


Because she has it in spades.


A girl and her buh-ee. Life is good.
