Lightknee Keeen

Dylan used to carry his bear around everywhere he went.  The bear’s name is Bo, for those of you who didn’t know that, and Dylan used to rub his nose with its ear while he sucked on his pacifier.  It was by far the cutest thing that I have ever seen.  Dylan still loves Bo, but they are no longer inseparable.  I used to have to turn the car around for this bear because Dylan screamed bloody murder without him.  Forgetting to bring Bo was a no-no.  Not only does he not rub his nose anymore, which I assumed was a habit that would go with the paci, but surprisingly he has sort of replaced the bear altogether. 

I realize now that Dylan is the type of child that has “friends” and one in particular that he is very loyal to.  While Bo is often crumpled in the corner, Dylan now walks around AND sleeps with “Lightknee Keeeen”.  (Translation: Lighting McQueen.)  It’s a hard, plastic Lighting McQueen car that races on its own.  Dylan feeds this car at the table, he sleeps with it, he takes it everywhere and it is in his hands at all times…Lightknee Keeeen is the new Bo in town. 

He’ll always love Bo, but it’ll never be the same.  Poor Bo.
