Chloe's Lamb, Nay

Chloe's special stuffed animal is named Nay. Nay has been her favorite even before her first birthday! We aren't sure why she gave him that name.....we think maybe she mixed up her lamb and horse sounds when she was younger, and "neigh" became NAY!

Here are some pictures of Chloe with Nay a few years ago.

JULY 2005: Chloe with all her lambs when she was 5 months old. I think she already had a preference for Nay at that time....She is holding Nay's leg.

NOVEMBER 2005: Everett, Chloe and Nay

DECEMBER 2005: Chloe and Nay....Chloe always wanted Nay in the highchair with her, and she would even try to feed Nay her food!

MAY 2006: Grandma, Chloe and Nay

Before Chloe was 2 years old, she pulled most of Nay's stuffing out. I checked on her one day during her nap, and the stuffing was all over the floor. I stitched up the hole where she had taken out the stuffing. She loved him anyway, and it never really bothered her.

During the past few months, she has asked to put some stuffing back in Nay. We finally went to Hobby Lobby today and bought a bag of it. I made a little hole in Nay, and Chloe went to work on stuffing him!

She is very excited to be able to take her lamb to school tomorrow. Her class is bringing things that start with the letter "L". We had to fix him up for the big show-and-tell.
