Growing Up

Ducky has been with us for a long time. He was actually a present from Aunt Patience when Cale was born. As soon as Mya was old enough to be aware of her surroundings, she fell in love with Ducky. She used to suck on his wing while she slept. It was actually quite disgusting as the wing would turn brown and stink. Ducky visited the wash room very frequently! After the smell became unbearable we were so excited to find an exact replica of Ducky. We tried to switch him out, but Mya took one look at the new one and asked where HER Ducky was. :)

Even though Mya doesn't suck on Ducky's wing anymore, he has still been her faithful comfort and friend. Tony and I bought Mya a bear for Valentines Day, and much to our surprise Ducky has been sleeping by himself! It is so bitter sweet. I was so ready for her to give up that thing and now it is rather sad that our little girl doesn't need her Ducky anymore. Here she is at nap time today sleeping with bear and her rhinoceros from her Papa. Sweet girl!
