Blanket & Tiger

When Jessie came to us I had a Lavender Lab in her crib for the soothing scents. The lab cuddled a blue satin blanket. Jessie started snuggling up to the dog because of the blanket. Eventually the blanket came completely off the dog and turned into Blanket that went everywhere with Jessie. The first time Jessie lost Blanket, I think she cleverly put it in the trash without understanding the repercussions of doing that.

So, with mouse in hand Taylor made her way to … Continue reading

I found my old one recently, washed it, and gave it to her, but my mother had other ideas. She went out and bought my daughter the Curious George Tickle & Giggle Plush. Even though I sometimes miss the Curious Georges of old, I have to say that this George is definitely fun. This is a toy that makes my daughter laugh all of the time. The Curious … Continue reading
