Ben is super cute! <br /><br />2) My daughter had a blanket she was obsessed with. It was super cheap and though it started out pink quickly morphed to a dingy disgusting gray. So we used to joke that blankie would end up going to college only yeah not a joke. Daughter and blankie just graduated with a double engineering major.

He had a little bus similar to Ben's that he carried with him everyday. Also Ben has gotten so big!

I also think these objects are comforting to little kids because so much changes as they develop plus they don't have control over a lot of things—so BUSSSSSSSSSS! offers Ben comfort from consistency.

And then he would drop it, and it would do what balls do....roll away. ALL the way to the front of the church or out onto the basketball where his dad was the coach. Then it was a stuffed mandrill named Mr. Pinkbottom that a woman at a garage sale gave to Henry because he was so cute. (Both Henry and Pinkbottom, but I think it was Henry mostly.) We have backtracked to motels to get him when he got left behind. (The ball eventually got chewed up by the dog, but we do still have Pinkbottom stored away.)Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487825000602796734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-4135937182264379282017-07-12T14:27:28.748-04:002017-07-12T14:27:28.748-04:00Yes, buy extra.Yes, buy extra.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110161308600685117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-6556638667470453652017-07-12T14:18:26.463-04:002017-07-12T14:18:26.463-04:00Is this not it?

We looked to see if they had more everytime we went but no luck. And then she lost it. They had been to the park. We went back, but no luck. Her granddad got on the phone and started call Dollar Generals and found one about 75 mikes away. We treat it like gold since their isn't another anywhere. She's almost 7 but still want it to sleep or if she's upset. Ben is so cute! And he looks so much like Max.
