[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 567060, member: 4264"] Oh my,... the baby simba brings me back! Do you mean the one you could squeeze and Simba would purr quietly? Matt had that one and it was his safety net. We dragged it to the US with us when we moved to CT. I had taken him a few cities away to hunt for a new bike. Well he put it down somewhere while testing his bike. We noticed just as we got back home, a good hour away. Tons of calls, an hour drive back and hours and hours scouring isles in several stores, and we never found it. He cried his wee heart out. My ex's brother thankfully gifted Matt HIS childhood toy that he had named "kitty". Matt got that it was special, and it soothed him a bit over his cherished Simba. Matt still has "kitty". When Matt was 16, I found a brand new in the box Simba and gave it to him for his birthday. You wouldn't think a teen boy/young man would get excited but his face lit into a massive grin and he shouted SIMBA!!!!! Of course he takes a ton of ribbing about that even still. But he still has Simba and Kitty. And a fox puppet I named Sherman when he was born. Sherman tucked in Matt from infancy, in toddlerhood would do a tickle attack each night. Thing is hanging by threads and has at least 7-8 massive holes. Three quarters of the neck seams are done in. He won't allow me to sew it, he claims it "adds character" lol. When we give these gifts to our kids, they aren't about toys, they are about the memories of childhood and something that was special for just them. You are a wonderful nana, I wish I could clone you. My kids haven't had that experience. [/QUOTE]
