There is the cutest new toy that is perfect for toddlers. It’s called Pillow Pet. You’ve probably seen the commercials and gotten the jingle stuck in your head: “It’s a pillow. It’s a pet. It’s a Pillow Pet.”
The commercial shows a variety of stuffed animals that are very fluffy and huggable. The animal looks like an animal until you pull open the hook-and-loop closure. Then the animal flattens out into a perfectly toddler-sized pillow.
My toddler doesn’t pay any attention to the commercial. I do. I want a Pillow Pet. Which pet will Jessie like most? She carries a white tiger with her everywhere, so a tiger might work. I love hippos and am drawn to the hippo Pet. No, this is for the child and not me. She loves dogs and dog is one of her favorite Baby Signs to show.
I have looked at the website many times. The Pet isn’t too expensive and I am all ready to buy. Unfortunately, I keep hearing rumors about the Pet taking a very long time to arrive after purchase. The Pets must be very popular.
A friend found Pillow Pets at the mall. Really, the Pets are sold in stores? I am so excited. The news isn’t all good, though. The stock is very low and sporadic with mostly the small Pets available.
Imagine my surprise when I found Pillow Pets at a mall kiosk. There were more varieties than I was expecting. I showed Jessie every Pet that I thought she’d like. She wasn’t interested. I got her out of the stroller and let her walk around the kiosk looking at all the Pets available. She chose a large bee. She even said, “Bee.”
When we first brought the Bee home she kept it with her other stuffed animals. Then she grew an attachment to it and sleeps on it. She and it are very cute.
