Looking for Lovie In All the Wrong Places

I read in a parenting magazine recently that it was healthy, and even preferable, for little boys to have comfort blankets or stuffed animals. I don't exactly remember why. Something about helping them learn to be loving since they tend to be expected to be tough more than girls, I think. I really was just relieved to read that because I think Luke might go to college with his lovie. Definitely kindergarten.

Here is a picture of Lovie.


Not only is Lovie special to my little boy's heart, Lovie is talented. He can do a disappearing act. If I calculated the amount of time I've spent searching for Lovie...let's just say it's a lot. And without fail, if I go searching all over the house, he's sitting in the trailer outside. And if I look everywhere outside, he's sitting on my kitchen counter when I come back in. It's miraculous.

One time, we left Lovie at Grandma's house across town. It was a tragedy.

I know that the logical thing to do would be to work with Luke to break the addiction, but call me an enabler. I want to purchase about ten more of these lovies. If you ever see a lovie like this one, let me know where, and I'm there.
