Brip

Magnus loves his stuffed monster Brip. Lately he sleeps with him, eats with him and plays with him. Consequently, Brip gets filthy. Normally Nate washes and dries Brip while we are at church. That way Magnus never misses him. But for the past two Sundays that hasn't been possible. Tonight I told Magnus I had to give Brip a bath while he slept. He was ok with that until it was actually bedtime. He was so distraught that I got out our backup-emergency-if-we-lose-the-original Brip. I handed it to Magnus. He looked at Brip, rubbed his unpilled surface and declared "that not my Brippy". He grudgingly put Brip down in his crib and laid next to him instead of on him like usual. Luckily, I was able to swap out imposter Brip for original Brip as he slept.  He woke up in the morning and was very happy to have his buddy back.  He didn't let him out of his sight the whole day.
