Our nanny gave each of the kids a pillow pet as her good-bye gift to them, and they are officially obsessed with these things. I don't know if it is because they associate them with Linda or because they just love them, but they are dragged around the house from room to room and are a required item in the bed at naptime and at night. When Linda gave the gifts to the boys, she told them that if they were ever at daycare and missed her, they could just hug their pillow pet and it would be like getting a hug from Linda. Perhaps I am just a little sentimental with the move, but this brought tears to my eyes. AJ has been requesting a pillow pet for more than a year now and even once said to me out of the blue in the car, "Mama, I want a pillow pet. They are great for travel and machine washable, too!" Who ever said advertising didn't work? When Linda gave it to him, AJ said "I have been waiting for this for 50 million years!"
