What was YOUR lovie/what did you call it?

[bornbaker]

With all this Lovie talk...

Did you have one growing up? What was it and what did you call it? Do you still have it?

I had a blankie and called it "special blankie". I still have it, it's in Emily's room. I keep forgetting to darn the holes so Em can have it - maybe it will be something special for her, too!

[jane6672]

YES.

Teddy bear blankie.

It has teddy bears on it. That poor thing is not in good shape. Actually, I'm wondering where it is now.

[jane6672]

And a St. Bernard named Beethoven, but he was a second love. He kept me safe from monsters every night.

[HiC]

My blanket named Sammy, who later turned into Rosie when my grandmother recovered it with a rose print material.

[Champagne Supernova]

I don't remember ever having a "lovie". Is that weird?

[circa1978]

Fleecie. It was a corner of my baby blanket I had rubbed to a nub. My mom cut the blanket down and down until it was about 6 by 6 inches with the fleecie sewed on. It is in my basement.

[EloiseWeenie]

A bear my dad gave me named Bee Bee (I named it after the store he got it from- Boom Bears) and a quilt my mom's friend gave me, named Mee Mee. Clearly, I have a thing for rhyming lovey names.

Both are currently in my daughter's crib. She refuses to call the blanket Mee Mee, and calls it "Momma's blankie." No Amelia, it has a name and it's Mee Mee.

A Peter Rabbit that was also wind-up music box. He played Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail.

[elleblue]

My dad gave me a stuffed cat right when I was born. I called him Kitty.

[rosiedozie]

I had a panda bear named Pandie. I loved that thing.

[bania]

Yes a small quilt my mom made me. I still have it. It was called. I love that thing.

[hippygirl]

My dad gave me a Drowsy doll and I still have it.

[Deleted]

I had these. I called them pink baby and blue baby. My great grandma got them for me when I was born. I am not ashamed to say that I slept with them until I was at least 18.

When my mom found out I was pregnant, she went on the search to find one for DD. She ended up paying $200 for "pink baby" on eBay. DD could care less about it but I'm still glad she has it.

I keep mine on a shelf in DD's room with some other stuffed animals.

[Champagne Supernova]

Alrighty, I'm weird for not having a "lovie".

[vicky]

I had my grandmother's silk scarf. It was named "sucky" because I sucked my thumb with it haha

[Deleted]

Oops forgot to PIP

[kdmac]

My baby sitter made me a doll the size of me that I called dolly. I wore it out and she made ma another one that also wore out but I slept with it in a pillow case until college.

[mx27]

I was a thumb sucker.

My left thumb was all I needed.

I don't think I could/would pass mine on to my children.

MINE MINE MINE.

I had one of these puppies. I don't think I ever named it, but I had him until I was about 13, then my mom THREW IT AWAY. I was so angry and hurt.

[DotAndBuzz]

My Huggie.

It was pieces of a black polyester sheet with psychedelic, colored mushrooms on it, that my grandmother had, and cut up into like 50 pieces to keep everywhere around her house, and my parents' house. I remember that I twirled it in my hand when I was falling asleep.

I have no idea how Huggie came to be my lovie.

I put Mee Mee on her at bed one night, because her "bwanket" was getting washed. She now has to carry Mee Mee and bwanket everywhere. She tossed the bear in her crib with a few other rando suffed animals, and has largely been ignored. She prefers bunnies to bears, so I'm not worried. My older son had no interest in either my bear or blanket, but is still attached to his lovey and blanket.

[jaycee]

This pathetic looking guy is my lovie. His name is Teddy.

He was in my bed from age 3 until I went to college. He lives in my closet now.

[ElizabethBennet]

I had a blue marshmallow baby that I loved, I don't remember giving it a name. I think it's still at my parents' house.

lol!

Amelia, show some respect!

[sawyerthedestroyer]

My grandma made a pair of stuffed rabbits when my parents got married (weird, but whatevs) and I adopted one at some point early on and named her Coola. The other one was a poor substitute the rare times I forgot Coola at pre-school. She lives on a shelf in DS's room now.

[SpartanGirl]

I had a red, white and blue striped pillowcase that I called my blankey.

We had a house fire when I was a kid (okay I was 12), and I lost my poor sweet lovey. (Insert hair pats here.)

Same here!! Beethoven now lives in my cedar chest in my home office. I loved that stuffed dog to death when I was a kid!

[sake]

He was a koala bear. I just called him my bear. When i was around 5 my dad took me to the dentist, I didn't have any cavities, which was normal, but I convinced him he needed to buy me a prize for not having cavities, and that it should be that bear. I promised I would sleep with it forever (even though I had a current lovey). He got it for me, and starting that night I slept with it every night until I was 21. Then started bringing home boys from
Bars, and stopped sleeping with the bear. He then made a reappearance when I met H bc I was ok with being myself around him... And then he got put away for good when doby ate his nose off.

He now sleeps in my closet with 2 other special stuffed animals.

Also. When I was in high school my friends thought it was cute/funny that I always slept with this bear and even took him on spring breaks with my fiends. We always said "love you to the moon and back" when writing notes to each other, and they knew I loves this koala so much that they would say ove
You to the moon and back "times" (meaning multiply) koalas." Haha. That was so dumb, but I just remembered that when talking about that bear

I have a stuffed Fievel my dad gave me the Christmas before he died.
