the lovey

You know what a lovey is, right? A favorite blankie, a favorite doll or stuffed animal; something baby takes to bed or carries around like a very best friend. We tried to introduce a lovey to Rosie:

This is a Taggies blanket given to her by her godfather Brian. Some parents swear by this blanket as a lovey. Maybe Rosie is too young for a lovey though, because it turned out pretty bad actually. Rosie has a pretty serious aversion to anything touching her face when she sleeps, which is why we had to wean her off a pacifier. She cried for over an hour one night before her stupid parents figured out that she was pissed because that darn blanket was touching her face.

She will probably want a lovey someday. I hope it's the Taggies. You have to be careful when you let baby have a lovey - be careful what you let them pick and how much baby falls in love with it. Why?
