Nathan's "Guys"

I just had to post about my boy's special "guys" (as he calls them). He is seriously attached to them and has to have them to sleep at night. He had a sleep over at my mom's the other night and I forgot to pack one of the guys. Now, I consider it to be one of the lesser guys, but I was mistaken. I got a call from Nathan (a message) saying that I had forgotten him and Nathan was worried that he would be all alone. He asked me to bring him into bed with me and sleep with him so he wouldn't be lonely- so cute!!
The "guys" are made up of Elly-poo, Teeny Tiny and blanket. Elly-poo was a gift from my mom and Nathan has had him since he was born. Blanket was a gift from a friend of mine in Colorado. Teeny Tiny (a smaller version of Elly-poo) was given to Jason (when he was first born) so he could have a buddy like Nathan, but Nathan quickly claimed him as his own (Jason has never known).

He sleeps with them all around him and when he carries them he wraps them all up in blanket and totes them with him. Last summer we thought we had lost Elly-poo. I was just as upset as Nathan and couldn't imagine not having him. Dan wanted him to get over it and deal, but we searched high and low and found him (the next day).

I remember my own special guys- I had stuffed animals covered in real rabbit fur (kind of gross now that I think about it). My mom even had to replace it once or twice because they tore open. I think it is just precious that he still has these soft creatures that he rubs on his face and loves dearly- he is growing up so fast and yet there is still the little boy in him!!
