Clifford

Clifford is the love of Lauren's life, well, besides her Bompie that is. He goes EVERYWHERE with us. He is upstairs if we are upstairs, downstairs if we go down, in Temecula, in bed, on airplanes, in the car, in the stroller, on vacation...I think it is safe to say that Clifford is Lauren's lovie. I always wondered if she would have some sort of "security item" and it turned out to be Clifford. She chose him all on her own!

Napping with Cliffie...September 27, 2011.

I really need to get a picture of Lauren with Clifford at night...when she has him in a pin down. She lays on her belly, arm around Clifford's neck and sleeps like that. Many times, I will go in to get her in the morning, after I hear her awake, only to find that she has reunited with Clifford, pinned him down and gone back to sleep. When she does finally wake up, I find her at her crib rail, Cliffie in tote, held tight around the neck in a hug-like manner.

Also, she pats him on the back when she is falling asleep.

She can identify his Nose, Eyes, Ears and Waggy Tail.

She chews the end of his tail sometimes too.
