Anyway, ever since he got it I always do this whole act, pretending like I really love the sock monkey so he will too. Since you aren't here, allow me to re-enact.
Me: "SOCK MONKEY!!! Oh, I LOOOVE the sock monkey!" **kiss, kiss, kiss...hug really tight**
Cam: Huh? What is this crazy lady doing? what is happening? And what is that squishy thing she's holding? I want to eat it.
Me: "I loooove the sock monkey. Cameron, do you love the sock monkey?"
Normally, this is how it would go down...
Cam: Look at me and then the sock monkey like we were both stupid, throw it on the ground and crawl away to a toy that is undoubtedly more entertaining.
BUT, last night it was not so!
Cam: Kiss, kiss, kiss...hug, hug, hug the sock monkey! Just like mommy!
YES! He now has a luvie! It probably won't seem like such a great idea when he becomes dependent on it to stop crying or sleep, but for now the whole idea is very cute! He was so cute with his Luvie:
How cute! But yes, you may regret it later when he HAS to have it to sleep. I have had experience with that, believe me. lol
