I found his first at a teachers workshop so I bought it. Thus began the days of Daisy. <BR/><BR/>He was 18 months old. But he was a thumb sucker and thus was orally fixated. So he then began sucking on Daisy's beak. I tried to take it away, but he had already developed an attachment. When the beak started going flat and developing a hole I was desperate to find another one. By this point I had sewn the seams back in her legs and holes together in her beak more than I could count. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, Gymboree began selling them. So I bought ONE replacement. Then, he lost his replacement. So he was back down to one tattered and broke neck Daisy, and Gymboree clearanced them out. So I bought the last four left. HE loved them to pieces (or at least their beaks). <BR/><BR/>When he turned four he was STILL in love with Daisy, but we could no longer find any. I spent three days searching on line before I found two replacements. They cost over thirty dollars when the first one was only $6.00. But what a parent will do for their child. Now, I have about four Daisys put up that have survived various stages of deterioration. Matthew finally stopped sucking the beaks and his last one is simply gently loved and resides on his bed. And I will forever keep his Daisys.Mommahenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124318173934183203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-65330742831024391782009-03-11T18:20:00.000-05:002009-03-11T18:20:00.000-05:00I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. ...I am so sorry you had to go through all of that. One thing is bad enough, but it just kept coming, eh?<BR/><BR/>I'm very fortunate that Sie never formed any sort of lovie attatchment. I tried to force a few on him, but he never went for it.<BR/><BR/>Target is my frenemy as well. I'm still mad that they didn't honor a killer deal for a carseat online.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02437740175084640353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-28811246832863948072009-03-11T15:20:00.000-05:002009-03-11T15:20:00.000-05:00This seems to be catching...we lost Ian's Foofer l...This seems to be catching...we lost Ian's Foofer last week. Jeremy called me in a panic (I was at a MOPS meeting) with Ian crying in the background. I dashed to Target for some semblance of a replacement (which we all knew wouldn't work). Thankfully, by the time I reached my car, Fake Foofer in hand, J had called to say Foofer was behind our toy bench. NEED to find a REAL Foofer look-alike soon...or some sort of attachment device so that Ian can wear him and keep him available at all times.<BR/><BR/>RAKRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797156338799943543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214825.post-56386890433713549342009-03-11T07:24:00.000-05:002009-03-11T07:24:00.000-05:00We lost Eli's "Ruffy" earlier this week.

Luckily, he was found smooshed between Eli's top bunk and the wall so the crisis was averted, but not before I had to lie down with Eli so he could fall asleep two nights in a row! <BR/><BR/>Sometimes Target is just not The Happiest Place On Earth. :)Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728752951347441758noreply@blogger.com
