Kanga

A while back, with Emmett having not had a respiratory problem for some time (while on his breathing medicine), we just couldn't take the "no stuffed animals in bed" rule any more, and let him have "Kanga" with him at night. It didn't seem right for the poor guy to have to go without any more. Kanga, named by them, after the character from the Winnie the Poo stories, is a largish stuffed kangaroo that is suppose to be a "pajama warmer". It was from Annie and PJ. We've never entirely understood the pajama warmer bit, but as a stuffed animal Kanga is just about perfect. Not so big that she gets in the way, but big enough, as Bek said, to be a friend. Not to mention the pouch. And friend she is indeed. Emmett has taken to Kanga like, well, you know the saying. The other day Emmett was playing "Hi Ho Cherrio" with Kanga. Tonight Emmett came out of his bed and called down to ask me to put his covers back on him. When I got up there he said Kanga had thrown off the covers. He also said that the other night Kanga and he had pretended that his cover was a tent. Max and Emmett also got from A&P a pajama warmer penguin that they call "Pingu" and he's great too, but Kanga is the one Emmett has been especially drawn to, perhaps because Kanga was the one he got to cuddle that first night.
