At the end of every vacation is laundry and LOTS of it. This time was no different.
Mr. Fuzzy was in desperate need of a "swim" as grandma Ruthie would say. After traveling all the way to Florida and being in three theme parks, it was time for Mr. Fuzzy to get cleaned up. Washing Mr. Fuzzy is always a challenge because... 1. she NEVER puts him down, and 2. she MUST nap with him. I planned it out that first thing this morning I would throw him in with the whites. Well of course, she was clutching him and would NOT let go! I decided to talk to her about it and show her what we were going to do. I put him in there and showed her what he would be doing. She watched him go around and around and only showed very minor distress. At one point she did say, "get Mr. Fuzzy out!"
I took her out in the kitchen and distracted her with her breakfast and by the time she was done it was time to put him in the dryer. We moved him over and she thought that was pretty funny. We went up so mommy could take a shower and when we came back down, she did run in the laundry room looking for him, but he was still tumbling away. We went to lunch with Nana and when we came home he was spic and span waiting to cuddle for nap time. She seemed to be all proud that she actually witnessed the bath this time. She kept holding him up to me saying, "mama smell!"
