Our son is sooo into his stuffed animals. He brought them into school for show and tell and then left them at school, and he started crying really hard when he realized what he had done!
That's when I realized that his stuffed animals are his friends. They have names and personalities and he likes to play games with them. We went back to the school and a school administrator was kind enough to let us into his Kindergarten classroom so he could get his stuffed animals. At first I was surprised that she'd take the time, but then I realized: who could say no to a tearful 5 year old begging for help: "I left my babies in my class and now they're going to be all alone all night long!!!"
Are your kids super into their stuffed animals?
