We Love Our Guys

The girls are really in a phase of loving their stuffed animals – whom they refer to as their guys, babies, or pets. I guess it just depends on their mood or activity. They are adorable playing with them and it totally makes me happy as I was a stuffed animal girl. I love to see how their guys bring out the nurturing side of them. They are so sweet…unless one of their guys is getting into trouble. Then you better watch out. For any infraction, the animals receive all the punishments: spanking, time out, and they give them the Talk.

On the negative, they always want to bring guys into places with them. In theory, I think this is an awful idea. In practice, it is frequently easier to just let them take an animal with them and hope that we make it home with them (the best is when they just take them into the car only with them…sometimes I can convince them that the guys want to stay in the car and take naps! ) Thus far we have not lost any guys while out and about. There was a close call with piggy in the TJ Maxx, but he was located in a box of shoes. Wheww…

Here are some cute pictures of them with their guys:

We keep the animals that are not being played with in these boxes on a shelf in the girls' room. Here the girls are pretending to be one of their guys in their boxes.

This one is hard to see...Audrey is clutching her Little Pet Shop kitty that she was playing with at the pool while Brooke was doing swim lessons.

The girls have gone from being absolutely adorable to simply gorgeous in such a short time!
Btw--I think we have every single one of those "guys" at our house too ;)
