Inside Scoop of the Coop

I always smile when I think about the things Ophie has chosen to love and adore, and how they lay in her crib sure to give her sweet dreams every night. I thought I'd give y'all an exclusive inside story on these things.

Clockwise from L to R:

1. An embroidered paisley blankie from lnw. COG's favorite part? The silky backside.

2. Mr. Giraffe. He's so soft and sweet. COG's favorite part? His tail. It's now flat from her sucking on it!

3. Pink Pup. He is just the right size and has little knots for arms and legs that she enjoys gnawing on. But- COG's favorite part? The brown ear. Don't ask me why she prefers it over the pink. She just does.

4. Owlie. And if I had to pick a part she messes with the most while awake... The tags. And the ears.

5. My blanket. This was mine as a little girl. And if it was another hand-me-down, don't tell me! I put it in the crib for Cham to lay over. Her favorite part? The eyelet lace edges.

6. Her blankie boo. That's what I call it. {"Oh, we can't forget your blankie-boo!"} If she's fussy or sleepy I just throw this over my shoulder, hold her up against it and wah-lah. Enter thumb and heavy eyelids. Her favorite part? Rubbing her fingers along the embroidery.

7. Her pinkie. You know, pink/blankie. I started using this just as a regular ol' blanket to keep her warm overnight. Then -when I would go in to check on her late at night-  I started noticing that she liked for it to be in her hands and against her face. She is always holding onto it through her dreams. It is so, so soft. 

And, uh, this is what her crib really looks like. Chaos.

You heard it here first.

Until Next Time,
The Guff
