I have wondered how children choose a blankie or a lovey. I would have thought that having a child and seeing her every day that I might be able to figure out how they come to love one special token.Yeah right...
Emma has rotated from one special kitty, to a doll baby, and then another special kitty. I kid with my friends at Pufferbellies Toys and Books, that they must put something akin to catnip for kids on their toys because all 3 special things so far have been from their store.
The new lovey that has totally surprised me is her love of a knitted washcloth. It has never been used as a washcloth. Her Nana knitted it and gave it to her as a doll blankie, but she carries it with her most places and sleeps with it most every night.
So the mystery still stands.
How does an object become a lovey?
It's a question that may never be answered.
