Long time readers will remember that we intentionally got a "lovie" for Rafi. It is a beanie baby bear named Huntley. We figured it was better to get him attached to something that was small and even if you had to pay an arm and leg you could get a replacement bear. Worked like a charm. He has 6 or 7 version of the same bear and sometimes he switches or sleeps with more than one. Sam on the otherhand resisted all efforts to get him attached to a specific item. We tried a similar beanie baby - chocolate the moose. Alas, he has now decided that he can't fall asleep without a book. He seems to hvae his favorite but there is no one book that he needs. It is however odd to see him curled up with a board book for a pillow. Sometimes, he needs more than one.
Sam's sleep also seems to be getting interupted of late. From a child that we never really sleep trained, it is unusual. His new routine is that he wants to go into the living room and put his head down on your shoulder - he is getting up an hour or two or three after he goes down and also early in the AM. After 3 minutes or so in the living room, he says "Book" which means to take him back to his crib. At some point, we need to get him to stay asleep in his crib.
