Happiness in our Kiddos: Scary face Baby

This is Peanut's #2 Gloworm baby. He lovingly calls her "Baby" and likes to chew on her face. He has two of them, #3 was much much worse. #3 is called Scary Chewed-up Face Gloworm. Two nights ago, we discovered a chunk of Gloworm's face wedged inbetween 2 of his front teeth. Wedged so high and tight that Mike and I both had to hold him down, hold his mouth open, and use a toothpick to pick it out. And then his poor little gums bled because it was so tight up there. So, we had to take both of them away from him. I had to leave the room to tend to Maemae and because Elliot begging for Baby was breaking my heart. Mike couldn't take it any longer either and ended up taking the plastic face off #3 and sewing the hood shut, then giving it back to Peanut. I'll get a picture of that one later. It creeps me out big time, but Peanut clutched onto her like she's his lifeline so she'll stick around.

Fast foward to yesterday at naptime. Creep hood face gloworm has never been his favorite, hence why she's #3. After throwing her out of bed 2 times and breaking my heart with his baby pleas while ripping his bed apart, I decided to fix gloworm #2 for him.

#2 before surgery

And here she is, fixed. I took some doll body fabric and (poorly) whipstitched it over her face. It's a lot less creepy than Mike's fix, but still a little creepy. The smile of adoration when he got her back makes it worth the creepiness to me.
