so the love story started back in january 2010. newborn girl meets bunny (from auntie lynsey).
baby falls big time for bay. the two go everywhere together.
fast forward and said soft toy is looking a little less fluffy but is still number one.
her holy trinity = milk + bay + dummy.
a few travels and moments when he went walkabout. always to be found not too far away.
until this weekend when he took a sleepover at cambridge botanical gardens. totally unauthorised.
wow we are all lucky that someone handed him in to lost property. less than 48 hours and he is home again and phew we are all happy we got a happy ending. see them reunited here.
and we are only at year two. i am starting to fear more of these moments!
i just hope he makes it through to the stage when they kind of fall apart and end up just an ear.
i hear people buy duplicates...but small folk aren't fools.
ideas?
btw i'm back (again)
stay tuned. please!
p.s. said gardens are amazing! we will definitely return soon with bay on a piece of elastic.
Well ...I still have my teddy and he is 55 years old!!!! My nephew is getting his masters in engineering next year and his blankie is still with him in his apt....so. .....your better keep a sharp eye on Bay!!! They just need repairs occasionally!!!
ReplyDeleteTheir is a great book I have called " Dirty Wow Wow". It is on amazon...all wonderful pics and stories of people's special animals or blankies....
oh you give me faith! i have a slight panic with these things as i lost my own beloved softie when i was about 13 on a holiday in singapore. after much searching and back in those days faxes and phone calls my poor dad had to break the news to me that it was bye bye lamsey.
Deletebut i got over it. although i would secretly love to have him still.
so like you say...a stitch here and there and a sharp eye is the key!
and thanks for the book recommendation. i love the sound of it! off to check out the link. x
adorable! That video kills me... have you read Dogger by Shirley Hughes? It's all about a lost soft toy buddy... so sweet. xx
ReplyDeletehello lovely! elsa is looking v shirley hughes at the moment...all curly hair and grubby knees :) her illustrations are a joy aren't they? must check out that book it sounds perfect xx
DeleteI just can't tell you how lovely it s to see this post, this little girl is a joy......Raffy hasn't taken to anything apart from the dummy of course, it's 3 now!!!!! I still have my panda btw, minus an eye and an ear. No wonder Raffy isn't that interested in her. So glad you're back, im enjoying being blogging again, in a 'for me' kind of way xx
ReplyDeletehello lovely janet...you have inspired me to get back to my blog. i completely agree it is such a nice thing to do for oneself. i am hoping to speed up a bit. you're flying! hee hee raffy...what is it about things in 3s?? elsa is the same. i think bay could be going the way of the panda in years to come. so great that you still have yours. xXx
DeleteOh cute pics- my two have not had a special wee cuddly. Shame but less stress in case we lost it! Jxx
ReplyDeletewise woman!! we have a fair few cuddly bunnies in this house (i swear they breed) but none of them can hold a candle to bay. it is lovely to see how much elsa loves him though. how i know he is a he is a mystery by the way! x
Deleteyou are a wise woman! our house is coming down with cuddly bunnies (i swear they breed when i'm not looking) but none of them can hold a candle to bay. it's a sweet relationship for sure :) xx
DeleteTime to get a 2nd Bay if you can and keep him tucked away in case of emergency! So cute.
ReplyDeletethanks victoria...i think we do need a break in emergency bay even if she doesn't believe it's the real one! x
Deletephew - that's saved you thousands of pounds worth of therapy in a few years time!
ReplyDeleteDelighted to read you are having so much fun together....what a little bundle of cuteness Elsa is.
x
ah yes...it is hard enough to find the money for the little persons shoes pot these days let alone future therapy!! you make me smile lynn. nice to see you here x
DeleteWe have a matching bunny (in fact we have two grey ones, two white ones and a grey one with floral ears). But you're right they can't be fooled - we can hardly tell the difference between the grey ones but Rufus can "the" grey bunny is slightly more worn and clearly very precious.
