best friends

Pink lovey is Eliza Kate's best friend. She has bonded to this soft bear and snuggles in close with her thumb sucking comfort grasp. My friend, Courtney from college monogrammed this as a baby shower gift. It's EK's absolute favorite friend. I've stressed out more than once when lovey could not be found. We've left it in several places, only to find it later. It has nine lives.Our whole house has been turned upside down looking for this beloved friend. Nothing can replace her lovey. Grandmama thinks we need two identical loveys just in case we run into another lost lovey crisis in the house. It surely does interupt her sleeping pattern when lovey isn't in the crib.


But,  real loveys can't be cloned. No substitutes allowed. They wear their owner's smell, feel a certain way, and EK knows the difference. Sometimes, I place her in the crib while I comb the house on the lovey search. She'll sweetly say, "oh lovey", "lovey", "oh lovey". When my search takes longer than a few moments, her sweetness turns into "LOVEY" with a mad tone as if to say...Are you still searching mom?

There's nothing like the joy of hugging your best friend.
