Scarlet has, at long last, embraced the swaddle-less sleep (hurrah!), and a part of the fun for me was watching the contest of the bed-fellows unfold...
- Contender I: A nameless taggie dog that joined her just a few times before an early, un-photographed drop out. 'Bye dog.
- Contender II: "Pinku," the pink bear/blanket critter from the Chenhalls girls when Scarlet was first born. The funny thing was that I had already ordered a stuffed duck (Contender III), but it did not arrive before we were heading out of town for a camping trip. In the last minute of packing, I just threw Pinku in the bag so she'd have something. Little did I know, that little indescribable critter was going to give my duck some serious competition for Aika's heart and cuddle preference...
- Contender III: "Daffy Goose," - so named because when I, myself, was a toddler, I bonded with a rubber duck at my Grandma & Grandpa Beehner's house and named him "Donald Goose." Daffy was consciously selected for size and, you know, adorable cuddliness... plus I knew where I could get a replacement if the need arises in the future. I was rooting for him from the day he - finally - arrived.
Here are some of my favorite shots of our girl snoozing with her various bed buddies:

Daffy it is. ♥
