People Let Me Tell You 'Bout My Best Friend!

I wish I was tech savvy enough to put that theme song from The Courtship of Eddie's Father on my blog. You will have to use your imagination...

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,
He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end.
People let me tell you bout my best friend,
He's a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

This post is dedicated to Leah's best friend-- her pacifier. We call it by many different names: Paci, Nuk, Binky, Pootie (my fave), Plug, etc. Leah would be very upset if it were lost. She uses it ALL the time, and I am not sure what we would do without it.

Life Story of the Pootie

After being manufactured by the talented people at the NUK factory, Pootie was kinda dissappointed he didn't get to be a cool color like the other pacifiers. Little did he know that the little girl he would belong to would like him just the way he was, plain old white! He traveled to the medical supply peeps who sold him off to a hospital in Houston, Memorial City Memorial Hermann. After hanging out in a closet for awhile, he was sterilized (hopefully) and given to a brand new, perfect, yet fussy baby named Leah. And the rest is history...

She will take other pacifiers, but they are just acquaintances. Her eyes roll back in her head when her BFF, Pootie, saves the day. I have tried to find another "Pootie" just in case, but she can tell the difference. She gets this look on her face when we put it in like, "This tastes weird. What are you trying to pull???"

So, I hope Pootie can last longer than the average Nuk. He certainly is loved.
