I Love You Animals

To say that my child likes stuffed animals would be an understatement, she loves them! We have an ever growing collection of plush pals that accompanies us all around the house. Tessa rattles off their names like a drill sargent doing roll call. Heaven help us if one is missing, we literally turn the house upside down until said animal is recovered. We actually have two stunt doubles - Music Bear and Pink - in the event that one of these favorites needs a trip to the washing machine. One traumatic laundry day and now Momma knows better than to think it's possible to sneak someone out while Tessa is sleeping.

Yes, these friends all sleep in the crib with Tessa. We love listening to her talking and laughing and playing with them after bedtime. One night, we peaked in and saw that she had arranged them on the rail of her crib. Animal angels to watch over my sleeping beauty? An audience for my little drama queen? Who knows what was going on in her creative little head before she called it a night.

I thought you were writing a post on Emma. The same thing happens at our house! I too wonder what is going through her head as she "talks" at night. Love that they are lined up on the rail. Funny!

That's quite a few teeth marks on your crib! Love how she has to sleep in one corner because the animals take up all the room!

This is hilarious! That girl is going to have to move from the crib straight to a King sized bed to accomodate all her animals!

That is hilarious! There is almost no room left for her in that crib. I love the line-up on the rail, too! She is too cute.

Very Sweet. I am glad I am not the only one w/ the bite marks all over the crib. I am going to have to have to refinish Andrew's before we turn it into a BB bed.

I'm impressed she was able to line them all up w/o them falling onto the floor! She looks so cute in there w/ all of them:)

I love the ones sitting on the rails the most. She is so sweet. OK does the same thing with all the animals in her bed. Last night we heard her telling them that if they didn't go to sleep right now, they are going to get a spanking.
