Hunter's Little Buddies!

I first have to give a little background on me when I was little... I loved my stuffed animals. They were my BEST FRIENDS in the whole world! I was so afraid of the dark, and all my mom would have to do is place a bunch of my stuffed animals around me and I would be okay {with a nightlight too of course!} Some nights when I would get extra scared, I would lay down in bed and make her put EVERY stuffed animal I HAD around me.... making sure every part of me had an animal on it! :) I was silly, but they were my comforting pals.

So now back to the present... this week Hunter, Tyler, and I all got sick with the flu. I always keep a bunch of Hunter's stuffed animals in his crib with him not thinking anything of it. On Tuesday though he threw up all over his crib and got a lot of his animals, so I removed most of them. Then Wednesday came, and he did it again, so I removed the rest of them. Last night {Thursday}, I layed him down to go to sleep and I always wind up his music snow globe to put him to sleep. I walked out and he just started to cry hysterically, which he never does so I went back in. He stopped crying while I was there but he was saying over and over "Gah, gah, gah, gah....", which in Hunter Language means he wants something, but of course what?? So I tried the usual, and nothing, still more "gah, gah...". Then, for some reason it clicked.... ANIMALS! He needs his buddies! I hadn't washed all his usual ones yet but he has a million! So I got all the ones through the house I could find, put them in his crib with him, turned his music on again, and left.... and MAGIC! He's just like his MOMMY! All he needed was his BUDDIES:)
