Beanie Babies and Chairs

Iva loves her Beanie Babies (especially Kitty). And she loves making chairs and castles for them. It is pretty sweet to watch. 

Kitty

Kitty is Iva's best friend. Kitty does everything with Iva and goes everywhere with her. If Kitty isn't allowed to come, Iva either straps Kitty into her car seat or tucks him into his special pocket in my diaper bag. She can't sleep without Kitty.

Kitty ran away in FL. Luckily, it wasn't until our last day there. We told her he went home to take a bath and would meet us there. (Luckily, we planned ahead and found a Kitty on Amazon and had one hidden at home.) 

Kitty was really dirty and well loved. Kitty 2 was not. We told her it was just because we had cleaned him. She thought for a minute and said "ok, but his ears are different". What?!? It is the same exact beanie baby, but somehow the ears are different. Shawn told her we fixed the ears and she went with it. She has her partner in crime back. It really is amazing how brave holding her Kitty makes her. 

We can't decide if we should try and find another Kitty or just let nature run its course if she loses it again?
