Adeline's Best Friend

Pooh is Adeline's best friend. Rarely does a day go by that she does not include Pooh in her plans. Pooh plays on the Sit 'N Spin (with a seat belt, of course!), he plays in Adeline's learning chair, he goes on long car trips, and every night, they squeeze into bed at lights out. Last night, he was Adeline's pillow. There are some things that Pooh is not allowed to do though, like Play Doh, bath time, or playing outside. Adeline seems to be OK with these parameters.

Here's the story of how Pooh came to be in our family...thank you Joe! Before Steve and I were married, Steve bought Pooh for our nephew Joe one year for Christmas. Who wouldn't like a big bear, right? Well, Joe took good care of Pooh through the years. And then, when Adeline came along, he passed Pooh on to his little cousin.

What a hit! As I stated earlier they play together every day. Just a few minutes ago Adeline finished lunch. I was doing dishes and told her that nap would be in two minutes. She did not hesitate. She ran to get Pooh, grabbed him by the ear, said, "Come on, Pooh," and ran to lay down. Within five minutes, they were both sleeping peacefully.
