"Glory Days"

"Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days" ~Bruce

When I was in college, I was very blessed to have had some great roommates through the years. One of my roommates had a sock puppet called, "Lady Monkey." At one point, "L" my roommate" slept on the bottom bunk and I slept on the top bunk. Many mornings I would awake to "Lady Monkey" peeking up over my mattress to say good morning. Lady Monkey was particular good at dancing and puppet shows.

"L" also had the most amazing blanket known as "Woobie." I can't tell you the number of people who napped with that blanket. It was the most comforting thing in the world.

When we were waiting for our referral and going through a down of the roller coaster ride, I came home to a package. When I opened it, there was a homemade "Lad Monkey" for Bug. "L" made it herself and I"m so looking forward for him to do dances for Bug when he comes home.

Today there was another package for Bug. This one was the most amazing Taggie Blanket. I will try to post a picture, but I don't have my camera and it wouldn't do it justice anyway. It's like an "I spy" book but in blanket form and it has tags for Bug to hold on to and feel. Somehow she managed to put a picture of Bruce and Bug onto the quilt- Amazing!

Now Bug has his own little "Woobie" and Lad Monkey. I can't wait to tell him about the glory days of the originals.

Thanks Auntie L and Uncle J. Can't wait for Bug to meet you.
