Together Forever!
When we were waiting for Julianne to become a part of our family, Leah and Natalie saved every coin that they came across so they could purchase Julianne a toy. They were so so so excited when I told them that they had enough money to make the trek to Target to hunt for the perfect toy. The three of us probably walked the toy aisle of the store several times just to find something that the two of them could agree on. The girls squealed with excitement when they realized a stuffed monkey was the winning choice.
Fast-forward five months and Julianne was given monkey for the first time....a perfect match! Love at first sight! She will not leave his (or her..not sure yet) side and heaven forbid that we ever lose him. She dances with him, feeds him, chews his nose, cries on him, hugs him, etc. I have looked everywhere for a backup but no luck. I did recently find one that was pretty similar on Ebay and I did purchase it for the possibility that it gets lost. Monkey is certainly loved and will be a keeper long after he is no longer needed.
