[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD, 6, has a ride or die favorite stuffed rabbit, that, like most well-loved stuffed animals, has seen better days.

I wisely bought a spare many years ago before it was discontinued and have kept it boxed up in storage just in case the original is lost or gets damaged beyond repair.

She doesn’t know this backup rabbit exists. Just for fun, I’m curious what you’d do:

1. Keep the spare in storage, never to be spoken of unless needed 
2. Break the news there is a twin and give it to her as a bday gift 
3. Keep it for a future child of her own if she decides to have them [/quote]

This post made me laugh because my now-18-year-old daughter amassed about 14 “backup” stuffies from age 1-6!
We started out like you —except I used to exchange the spare out periodically so that they both had the right smell and look. And then it became discontinued and over time, relatives would find one in a drug store and snap it up! But we were always careful not to break her universe by allowing more than one to appear at the same time!
And then one day when she was nearly three, she accidentally happened on one of the spares and she toddled into the room holding one lovey in each hand and giggling “one…two! Two guys!”
She was so excited!
And from then on, people in our lives would just give her more and more of these until she had a whole collection of identical lovies on her bed! There was barely any room at all for HER!
Now they sit at the top of her closet. But it’s a fun memory! Cherish this time, OP! It goes by all too quickly.[/quote]
