I am so sad. Sammie’s lovey which she had attached herself to for the past two years has been tossed aside and forgotten. A few days ago she started laying out blankets everywhere and putting two of her dolls and piggy to ‘sleep’ in our room. Then, when it was time for bed she didn’t want Piggy! Usually she asks for Piggy and snuggles with him all night. Now though she doesn’t want Piggy, she wants Kitty.
Don’t hate on the original names, mkay?
I feel so SAD though! Piggy is sitting on the kitchen counter tonight lost and forgotten!! I kept asking Sam, are you SURE you don’t want Piggy?? Piggy MISSES you! You don’t want Piggy to be lonely and sad, do you?
I think this is affecting me more.
She was never that into loveys. She didn’t find Piggy until my Mom bought him at some random store when she was around 18 months or so and somehow she just liked him and he was always in the place of honor. A night or three we would forget him at a Grandma’s house but it was never that big of deal. And now she has moved on. Piggy is yesterdays news.
I just feel so bad for Piggy.
On another note, I read her ‘The Giving Tree’ which was a book my sister had given to Sam before she was born. Dude, that book is SO SAD! That poor tree just gives and gives and then gets sat on. How is this sad book such a classic?
I am feeling so outraged tonight! LOL

I finally read “The Giving Tree” a few years ago and it is a terribly sad book.
So sad that she gave up her lovey so quickly. And the fact that you miss the lovey more than she does is so like a mom. We always expect to have to break them of the “lovey” habit, but if they do it themselves, it’s like we missed out on something. I would be trying to get my son to take back his lovey, too. Poor Piggy!

Yes, hubby and I have been lightly arguing about that book. The boy saying ‘I want’ every time, vs the last time where he says ‘I need’. Very interesting. While I agree that as a Mother, I would be happy that my child was happy… I still think it’s a sad book!
I feel I am going to be that mother who is so attached to her boyfriends or friends… wanting to invite them back for dinner after she has broken up with them, haha.
I know how you feel about Piggy, I get attached to Em’s things as well and then get sooo sad when she abandons them 🙁
