I can tell you that I had always thought I had it together in the department of having my children reliant on anything. I was able to leave the house or leave them with other people without any meltdowns. We went to bed without having to search the house for things to sleep with. They never got into pacifiers or bottles! So when Cooper's teacher asked us to bring his favorite stuffed animal to school last year I really had a hard time finding one.
They did an entire week about these animals. In fact we were trying to name ours on the way to school for the first lesson about our animals. But from that week forward "Rexy" has been a staple at our house. We have to find him before bedtime, he has to watch TV with us, and if I would let him Rexy would join us for dinner every night.
So why would his little sister who is monkey do also not want to have a "lovey" to carry around. Hence "Baby" came into play. She carries Baby everywhere with her and we have now had multiple meltdowns due to the fact that baby had to take a "swim" in the laundry or we have even had a "time-out" for baby for flying through the air and knocking her brother in the head.
Regardless, the kids love these little things and they love it when I let them take them out of the house with us. We still are firm most days about everything staying home but a day at the park sounded like way more fun with our friends. :)
