The Di Di
So Gator has had this little doggy "lovie" since he was really little... we used to use it to prop: him up, to prop the vent in the hospital, his bottle (i already know that was bad), and he has basically had it for every stay at the hospital... I thought he would be a blankie boy; but no, he loves his Di Di... While he was learning to crawl he would hold it and push/drag it while he crawled.... Now that he can walk, he usually has two things in his hands... One is always this and the other changes.... Today I thought it was so grubby... I let him have cheeto's yesterday and it was orange.. two days ago he split his lip again and he bled on it... plus, I think he got milk and other food on it.... So needless to say Di di needed a tubby.... While it has never been an issue before today, today was like cutting off his arm... he kept crying di di, di di..... putting his open hand up by his ear and signing "where"... then "want".... di di.. It was so horrible.... So I had this brilliant idea to take him to the washer and show him where di di was.... Ummmmm.... what the heck was I thinking.... he got so excited seeing him in there sloshing around.... but wanted him.... I took it out to show him it was all wet... I am sure he was thinking, WHO CARES!!!!! I took him away kicking and screaming.... I dried him for the shortest amount of time... he was a little damp, but clean and smelled a whole bunch better, when I gave him to Gator.... So happy to have him back after two hours of torture. He decided he would go right to sleep.... Poor baby.... Am I so mean? Next time, tigs will just have to do until DI DI has a bath....

It is so amazing how attached they become to certain objects. Joey is so attached to this blanket he received from our friends when he was born. It isn't anything spectacular, just a nice soft blanket from Carters. However, if I wash it, Joe will stand at the washer and point saying,"my bankie" "Want it!" So cute.... the blanket now has holes in it since he likes to chew on it. I hate to see what it looks like at five years.
That's cute!!!! He is so good at signing. I go through the whole washing trama too, exept it's with Ellie and her Blanket. She always has to give it "one more snuggle" before we put it in the washer. (It's kind of cute I guess)
Darah's very attached to her lovey. He actually started becoming so worn that we bought a replacement. It took some hunting because the darn animal was retired, but they rereleased him and Darah surprisingly took to the new one. We retired her original to her memory box. Her replacement is actually starting to become just as worn in the few months she's had him. Connor loves stuffed animals too. But he's easier. As long as he has one in each hand (it doesn't matter which stuffed animals they are) he's good, so wash day is not hard for him because he'll settle with any two loveys! LOL!
