Savannah just LOVES her animals. At the table yesterday morning, she had these 4 posed, watching her as she ate cereal and strawberries. Every now and then, she’d offer them a taste.
The lamb in the back has been with us since she was a baby. She has another one just like it, only it’s smaller, like the pink one in the picture. When she was 18 months old, we took away her pacifier and she took to the baby lamb. She named it Meo.
Meo went with her everywhere and it had the sweetest little voice that prayed, “Now I lay me down to sleep…” After the first (of MANY) sessions in the washing machine though, it quit talking altogether.
Over the past 5 years, Meo has become a well loved, well worn little lamb. It’s mother, Big Meo, is who you see pictured here. For Christmas, Aunt Jessica found her 2 more lambs. One light blue and the pink one above. She named them Fuzzy and Bubble Gum.
The Meo family gets dressed in doll clothes and taken on trips to the grocery store, church, restaurants, etc. Occasionally she will opt to take a Webkin or a Littlest Pet Shop critter with her in the car. But we don’t get far from home before she asks about going back to get Meo.
Her precious, baby Meo.

That is so sweet!!! My girls are really into petshops right now so I noticed them right off! :)
Much love,
Angela
MC asked for Petshop stuff for Christmas, but hardly plays with it.. Is very into books at the moment, but not much else. Kids are weird.
I have heard about the little ones that pray before, but I never can find one! Avery found a little lamb someone gave Kendall the other day in her room and he won’t put it down. (He even likes to “scare” the cat with it…he says BAAA in her face, it is to funny!)
Bubble Gum is young enough to still have her “prayer voice”. One night when Savannah and I and BG were sleeping together, Savannah rolled over on the lamb in the middle of the night and I heard a tiny little voice praying. It made me laugh…in the middle of the night!
