Bi Bi and Bahh

Sadie has always had her binky and her lamb blanket for as long as we can remember. We have officially been through about a dozen of each by misplacements or forgetfulness. We keep several handy because if they weren't around for Sadie in her desperate times of need, life would be grave indeed. She has simplified life by calling them Bi Bi(short for "binky") and Bahh (short for lamb blanket, hence the sound of the lamb). She's even gone as far as shortening it to a simple "biba" when she desires to find these "essentials" as we call them as code so she doesn't know what we're talking about. It isn't so much the lamb attached to the blanket that she likes but more so the tag. She strokes the tag all around her face and sometimes sticks it in her eyes. If you are one of the lucky people in the world who have had the privilege of partaking of a little "tag" then you are also favored by our little lady. Once she warms up to someone, she likes to share "tag" with them and gives them a similar stroke on their face. When in Utah she desperately tried to give our cat Walter some tag from which resulted many bites and hisses. Lately she's been sharing tag with her books, stuffed animals and even a nearby wall. We caught on tape Sadie in a daze with her "Biba" busy at work. The kid is hilarious. I never thought she would ever get so attached to something. As of 10 days ago we have officially implemented the rule that "Biba" is only allowed during nap times and night time. She's been a real trooper about it and amazingly understands. However, right around story time we hear our favorite little sound "bi ba bibi ba ba, bi bi ba ba." She sounds like a regular Hansen groupie.

How funny! I love that she just sits and rubs it over her face. Eva loves tags too. SHe just plays with them all day long.
The video is so cute!
