It is well-loved." but in reality it is gross! <br /><br />Rosie plays I Spy and she'll say, "I spy with my little eye, something...... dirty!" and she's talking about lamby.<br /><br />But, ours is discontinued and she wouldn't accept a new one anyway :( <br /><br />I'm a new follower from Mommy PR - I hope you'll follow me back! <br /><br />http://Kellysluckyyou.blogspot.comKelly's Lucky Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017533112325286791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258145326228286505.post-5439570303123887512010-05-17T23:29:18.709-07:002010-05-17T23:29:18.709-07:00You're making me feel bad.

Whe...We have that exact same bear, only not yellow. When I realized that it wasn't machine washable, I went and bought a new Wooby. An elephant head with little blanket. That one is now her all-time Wooby, named Elwoob. When needed, I throw him inside a delicates bag and into the washing machine he goes.<br /><br />Kim Russell<br />North East, PA<br />krussell@welka.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258145326228286505.post-19123218404076853492010-05-04T03:00:04.598-07:002010-05-04T03:00:04.598-07:00Just reposting so I can subscribe to comments....Just reposting so I can subscribe to comments....Reviews @ AnotherTeenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256936153656687933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258145326228286505.post-30886258000728493612010-05-04T03:00:04.599-07:002010-05-04T03:00:04.599-07:00I must just be a mean mom.
I just find something ...I must just be a mean mom.<br /><br />I just find something new and interesting, and if they don't like it, they need to get used to it. They fuss and cry for a few days, but after that they're attached to the new toy just as much as the old toy. <br /><br />I just don't think it's worth it to blow all sorts of crazy money on something like that. And besides, children need to learn how to adapt to changes and accept them. A toy getting worn out and being replaced with a different one is a great learning opportunity. We always try the "upgrade" approach. Approaching the subject in a "You've been such a good girl and you're getting so big, we decided to get you this super special new toy to sleep with, but it's only for big girls, and you've done so well you deserve it!"<br /><br />Usually works. :)Reviews @ AnotherTeenMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256936153656687933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258145326228286505.post-2879680416644620302010-05-04T02:47:09.549-07:002010-05-04T02:47:09.549-07:00That's really odd about Gerber just saying it ...That's really odd about Gerber just saying it was discontinued, becuase I read in a magazine once that Gerber (or at least I REALLY thought it was gerber, perhaps it was a different baby company?) kept a set amount of each of their items after they are discontinued, so that when frantic mama's call up asking for a set product that their kid has attached to, that they will have them for sale only for those people. I remember reading it and thinking how great of an idea it was. Maybe it was a different company though I guess. But Gerber SHOULD do that, as many products as they make, haha. <br /><br />If I were you I'd buy 5 more on ebay in case you can't even find them on ebay in a couple of years. Your little one is probably a long way off of outgrowing Baby. I didn't outgrow my blankie until I was 10 or 11. Thankfully the blanket was strong enough to survive (sort of, anyway, its pretty much a rag, lol)EmmysBoosAndRawrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15986680997598706499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258145326228286505.post-3549031235594502802010-05-03T14:00:15.362-07:002010-05-03T14:00:15.362-07:00Don't feel bad, I've done the pay-3-times ...Don't feel bad, I've done the pay-3-times the value of the lovey on eBay thing. Twice. <br />We very quickly created the "lovey stays IN the bed" rule. It has saved it from excess wear and tear and it has made bedtime so much easier.
