Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

The problem with this plan is that it presumes that you can guess what toy or blanket the kids going to fixate on. Sometimes they pick the most random thing. And by the time you know what the security thing is, damned if you can remember where you got it, or the store doesn't have them any more...

Believe this woman! She speakth the truth!

And I should know, 'cause I've got 5 of the lil' biters!

Heh; we got lucky. We were using cloth diapers for burp rags, and that's what my son's security item is---easily replaceable.

Huzzah! My hat is off to you at increasing the number of female gamers in the world. (comeon, tell me that when you sing "Hush Little Baby" you're going to include a verse about "Momma's gonna buy you a 20-side die" )

My youngest has done the exact same thing - oh, and his Dory (from Finding Nemo), but he's pretty good about accepting a substitute for a night or so. My 5 year old daughter never really had any one thing. Of course now there is barely room for her in her bed with all the "buddies."

Sagiro, it's been too long since I was a regular reader and poster in your Story Hour. But I wanted to pop in and say congratulations on the birth of your child. It's one of life's most wonderful, amazing, world-changing moments and I hope you enjoy every second of it.

Though I do feel obligated to mention that I can track the loss of extra time in which to read great story hours like yours almost directly to the moment my daughter was born...

Good luck and much happiness to you and your family!

Elanor looks wonderful, and you both look so proud. Congratulations to the both of you, and if there is one word of comfort I can offer at this time - sleep does actually return again, one day!

(My youngest, Katarina, was within a hairs-breadth of being named Elanor, but I think my wife spotted the LotR reference just before I went off to register her name...)

God bless!

Congrats, Sagiro, and may the next few monts be full of joy and the occasional bit of sleep.

We never had that problem (three kids). We just made sure we had one fuzzy thing in the crib and that's what they picked. But yea, if you do lose both of the items (and we have) of course it's out of stock. My wife ended up crusing EBay with my daughter looking at pictures to find a close enough match to her blanket.

So far neither of my girls have fixated on one toy to the exclusion of all others. Felicity rotates her affections and Katarina ignores everything

Congratulations! The first six months with your first child are rough, but it does get better - much better.
