about once or twice a month we have to give lovey bear a bath in the washing machine...and theres no sneaky way to do this...it is the most traumatizing event in our house,and mckinley cries and worries the whole time its happening.I dread it,but after putting it off all week,this morning was THE DAY.i showed her how dirty he was,and explained that his ears and face needed to be washed and talked about how clean and how good he would smell
,AND fianlly convinced her to thro him in...it took about 5 minutes,and once she let him go,she started to cry but promptly ran off to find his stand-in (tony bear).as soon as the washer stopped she ran to get him and i spent the next 5 minutes trying to convince her that we needed to dry him and she FINALLY put him in the dryer because she said he was cold.(:half an hour latr,when the dryer buzzed,(i didnt even hear it)but she was waiting and made a beeline for the dryer...she was VERY excited to see how clean Lovey's ears were and kissed him all over,and he has been tucked safely under her arm ever since and tony bear has been kicked to the curb once more.I came outta the bathroom awhile ago and found her fixing loveys hair with her play curling iron...he is being very well taken care of this afternoon and smothered in kisses from head to toe.

It always tickled me when one of my kids *loved* a stuff animal. Lovely is a nice name for a beloved toy.
Such a cute post. She's a doll and Harley was that way at that age with one of her bears. Not anymore. I miss it..... Anyway I love a good story.

Lol love love...this makes me miss you guys even more!
I swear she's Susannah's clone. The good news is that Susannah no longer cries for more than a minute when bear-bear gets washed.
