Tucker and the elephant

One of the things I love so much about my lil Tucker is that he has always been attached to one specific toy. Currently it is an old ratty elephant. He has to have this toy to go to sleep. When we head off to bed, he scours the house to find it, and carries it to bed with him. I don't believe I have ever seen him come to bed without it. It's nasty, tattered, torn, and barely recognizable. But he loves it anyway. Before the elephant he was attached to this weird bright orange fuzzy toy. He loved that one so much it finally vanished into small pieces. Before that it was a yellow duck and of course he loved it until it fell apart. This elephant has definitly held up much longer than usual. We have tried to get him attached to other, new, more attractive toys but he will have none of that! He doesn't play with it during the day...he only needs it at night. And he absolutely will not allow Maggie to come near it! :)
