Remember this? Back in June Ella found this rock when we went to a farm to pick strawberries. guess what? SHE is still in love with it. She SLEEPS with it. She carries it around in a blanket, sings to it, and has named it "Rocky." She cried the other day because I wouldn't let her take it to school. Chris thinks we should get rid of the rock when she's not looking because it's SO heavy and therefore dangerous. I agree that it's not the safest "lovey" (quite the opposite of a blanket or stuffed animal) but she's only hurt herself a couple times and she always tells us that she's being "vewwwwy cawe-ful." She just loves the thing so much I can't bear to face her when she's searching the whole house wondering where it is. So, as long as I can protect Rocky from Daddy giving it back to nature, he'll be (strange) part of the family for a while longer :-)
You just made me laugh, out loud, for a full minute. YAY for Ella and her lovey rock.
ReplyDeletePlease Daddy, let him stay...He is benign. The next Rocky she she becomes attached to could be 6' tall and evil.
ReplyDeleteLet us help her find a substitute in a subtle way...fish, gerbil, ???
I can't believe she still HAS THAT ROCK!
ReplyDeleteShe's totally funny.
she almost broke her foot dropping that thing. it is like 10 pounds. she could break my foot throwing rocky around.
