babies are banned in strollers

well, not "real" babies. that's just what we call stuffed animals or dolls in our house. we have lost not one, but two, babies in only one week of moving to seattle.

i'm not sure if there is some strange vortex that swallows these said babies, but i wish that there was so it would be an easy explanation to why they disappear. i could blame it on the hippies. or the hipsters. there are a lot of them in our neighborhood. or tell her that bad babies go to bad babyland, without hopes of returning. i have yet to be truthful to my child about where her favorite babies, ooh-oohs (monkey) and pony (my little pony, rainbow dash specifically) have gone. thankfully, pony is replaceable. i spent way too much time looking for a limited edition christmas monkey with pacifier released in 2008 made by ganz (webkinz).

here is a last look at what ooh-oohs looked like, in case there is some friend or stranger out there who reads my blog (all 2 of you) and has some crazy ganz connections.



in the meantime, i will scour the intraweb and hope that it pops up for me to blow all my guilt money on.
