Go Get Your Lovie

Many days I take a nap after lunch and I always have two friends, Emme and Rudy, who nap with me. They each bring a lovie to nap with us.

I say "Go get your lovie" and Rudy dashes to the living room to find the Really Big Lovie. He grabs it in his mouth and carries it to the family room. Emme on the other hand sometimes runs to Big Mama Gorilla, but often will not carry it with her. I know she can carry her lovie because it is a favorite "Blitz" toy. Many times Emme will grab the toy and dash all around the house carrying it. She keeps up her blitz until she is gasping for air and needs to rest.

When it is time to nap I often have to go get Big Mama Gorilla and carry it to the family room couch. Emme has trouble jumping up on the couch with BMG in her mouth, so I put it up on the side of the couch that Emme chooses to be her nap spot. After we are all settled, we have 45 minutes of quiet as "Sleeping Beauty and the Two Dwarfs" and the two favorite lovies take a nap together. Life is good.
