I’ve been waiting to see who Roman would choose to be his special stuffed animal friend. When he was a baby, it was definitely his green elephant lovey that our dear friends, The Reamers, gave him when he was born. Now that he’s a toddler (it’s crazy to think about how fast he’s growing), he’s been walking around carrying the gray monkey Pops and Maw gave him for Christmas. When I lay him down in his bed to sleep, he crooks his little arm around him and makes the sweetest little contented noises. And whenever he sees him, he says, “Ah ah ah!” (I think because we say, “Roman, what does a monkey say? Ooo ooo ooo ah ah ah!”). It’s so funny how the stuffed animal friends the boys have chosen reflect their personalities…Jonas has Pooh bear (maybe Tigger is truer to his personality but still…haha!), Xander has Wolfie and his Little Lambies, and Roman has Monkey. So sweet!!!
