I just have to share this as its making me feel sad - pathetic i know lol. Me and the boys went up town on tuesday after playgroup (had a great time with Santa and a ride on the old fire engine) and i realised when we got to the supermarket ( a matter of 5mins) that Jaidyn had thrown out Patrick dog so i backtracked and checked in every shop we passed, rang the police to see if handed in, put an add on the radio but nothing. Someone has picked him up and seems to me like they have decided to give him a new home. It breaks my heart as he is beloved companion (sp?) to Jaidyn and has just learnt to say patrick and it seems odd not to see him carting him around. I will try and track down a new one. Have attached a pic of Jaidyn taking his mate Patrick for a walk in honor of him

I understand!
When Kiya was 9 months old, we went for a walk through the Karangahake Tunnel, and Kiya (in her pushchair) threw her teddy overboard at some stage... she'd just learnt that when I said "mayberry" I was talking about that particular toy! Farewell Patrick, may your new home be as good to you as your last. AND may your replacement be just as loved! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Ooh Marlene my heart is breaking for him! I don't know what we would do if we ever lost "Fuzzy Bubba". I think Maya would be scarred for life!
Good luck finding a new Patrick! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yay! It's so nice when people are considerate - I mean it probably doesn't look like much, but to a kid it;s their whole world.
LOL at the ugly bunny - Fuzzy Bubba could also be described as an Ugly Bunny! http://www.MyonlineImages.com">  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| Isn't it funny what kids love. I think we had another post about what our kids cart around. jake loved the plunger, but now he has this horn thing from his peddle car. But we never get the whole tune - what I like to call "the Jake re-mix version" |

heres ugly bunny - have put a pic up b4 but heres another just to remind you of his uniqueness(sp?) lol. if he ever gets lost i dont know what we will do as i really doubt they make these anymore!!! hes 12 years old and keegs is the 3rd owner. my friend passed on heaps of her kids stuff and in there was ugly bunny - which by the way they called him that too. funny that aye the boys have cool NEW soft toys and they pick the old ones (patrick was with me for about 3-4year b4 I had the boys)

I'm so glad Patrick's home!
After Kiya lost her Mayberry, she crawled into my room one day and left with one of my teddys, named "Cuddles". I bought it with my birthday money when I was 8! I hope nothing happens to Cuddles, 'cause he really is irreplaceable - I got him from Deka! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

LOL, I guess its a smell thing... maybe if you rolled the other one in some of her laundry overnight a couple of times it would start to be more acceptable to her? I'm just guessing, I remember Kiya never wanted her toys straight after they came out of the wash... she said they smelt funny... ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

lol Becca... funny.... clean?
Kids make me laugh! Hannah isn't attached to anything and I think this is starting to be a problem now that we are moving around a lot and the only thing that settles her is me Have been trying to get her to sleep with "Huggy Bear" but at the moment she just throws him out of the cot. We will continue the bonding...

yeah i think its great for the boys to haev their security item as we stay with all our friends heaps and they have no probs staying settling to sleep at other houses except when they think they are missing out on fun!!! lol And the boys are so funny as they head of to bed with ugly buuny and patrick in tow. Also they have started to feed their buddies too which does require more washings but is pretty cute too ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

Thats so cute that they have these soft toys or whatever to keep them company!
The only thing Alex has ever "attached" to was a little green block that he used to carry everywhere & take to bed....Then he threw it out the window one day & sat laughing his head off while our dog Brynn chewed it up. ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!

Arna's going through a throwing stage and I found her with some scissors the other day (in the middle of packing so I probably left them ontop of a box) anyway I said "ta" and she threw them at me Lucky for me she can only throw a metre or so - But I had a Heart attack! ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

yeah i have to admit, I am a beaten mother haha. the boys tag team me and do flying jumps on me. Thats all good in fun but i get the snotty hits and "dont" with a finger in my face - usually when i am stopping them doing something they shouldnt be.
I am not looking forward to hearing what you are hearing Emma. It will break my heart too. My friend tells her child when she told that " thats ok honey cos your still my friend" which makes her little one have a think then get over her hissy quicker ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

Yeah, I tell her "That makes me feel sad because I love you and you're my friend". I think it's an age thing - from hanging around with the bigger kids at daycare.
At least she's not physical with her anger, I don't know if I would cope with that. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
