It Worked! Almost.

Here is Pinky Bear:




Notice the disgusting brownish grossness on the edge of him. This is what Loodle chews on each night in order to fall asleep. Yuck and more yuck. I have to wash it frequently, obviously, and the dentist told her she had to give it up when her big girl teeth start coming in.

Not one to miss an opportunity, I started talking it up when we knew Boodle had to give up Silky, and Loodle decided this weekend we could do it. However, she would not let go of the whole bear, just the part she chews on. Behold the newly named Snuggle Bear:



A little frightening to my eyes, but Loodle handled the amputation just fine. That night, The Man laid down with her in bed to help her get to sleep, much as I'd done with Boodle after the Silky removal.

Alas, my hard fought victory was severely short lived. We went in to do the nightly check in before going to bed ourselves, and see the ears on the bear? Yeah, they are the perfect size to chew on, apparently.

Aside from an ear-ectomy, we're back to buying a coffin memory box and retiring the whole thing.

4 of you HAD to say...:

That bear looks so sad and body-less. But so much more improved without the brown stained body.

How was your Easter?

And, for the record, I don't think we can be friends until the summer when I can wear capris and flip flops, too.

Eww. That is a bit gross...although I'm not judging seeing as I had a "per" (short for diaper) that I carried around until I was eight. It wasn't brown, it was gray.

Wow, that amputated bear is seriously scary looking! You've taken on some big stuff lately in your house, congrats! I know how hard that can be.

The photos are hilarious...this post wouldn't have been the same without them. :o)

Uh... is it just me, or does Pinky Bear now look more like it has a chip in its brain without its body? Coffin it quickly! COFFIN IT NOW!!!
