Peter Cottontail

This is Averie’s bunny.  You will rue the day you accidentally try to put her down for bedtime or a nap without realizing she does not have the bunny.  Heck, should you ever even try to take it from Averie when she doesn’t want to give it up, you may wonder if she has begun lifting weights in her free time seeing as her grip will suddenly be ten times stronger than yours.

We even have multiples of the same bunny that we rotate so they are equally loved (translation: dirty :P) in case one should be lost or become so gross that I can’t bear to let her have it anymore.

Averie is more attached to her bunny than her pacifier, and that’s saying something because this girl LOVES her binky (it’s next on the wean list as soon as her molars cut through – that should be fun!). 

Sometimes we sit with her and sing “Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail…” with her while the bunny hops up her arm to her neck and then tickles her with his little whiskers.

Cute bunny story: Last night when it was time to go to bed, while we sang the song as we walked, Averie chose to hop all the way to her room instead of walking!  I love when she surprises us with some silly behavior – it can brighten even the worst day!
