I got a package yesterday during our storm of the decade as the newscasters are calling it right now. I was kind of surprised to see Mr UPS man out and about, but we were all happy to see him. Ok, some happier than others since the youngest two were the ones who got the contents of the box.
BlaBla had sent Alyce and Christiano two of the adorable Boogaloo dolls. So cute! They reminded me of one of the old monkey sock puppets for some reason, but they aren’t a puppet at all. They are these really cute little dolls that are made in Peru by local artisans who use hand picked cotton. They are just really cute!
Alyce got the Peeko and Christiano got the Inoo-LaLa. (They have so many styles of these dolls, minis and original size, take a peak!) Alyce is my one to show excitement before anyone else. I handed it to her and she gasped, mama! I “yuv” it! Christiano is one who takes a little longer to warm up. I handed him his and he promptly crawled away from it. But, he got involved as you’ll see!

Big hugs! Oh wait, that was teletubbies.

He actually carried it around the house with him. Kinda made me happy. We’ve been looking for something that he would latch onto and sleep with rather than needing me right next to him. Maybe this is it? Here’s hoping!
So, how is this a nursing lifesaver? Christiano has taken to kneading like a kitten when he’s nursing. He gets his nails into it. I have to keep them cut really really short because he has hurt me before doing it.
See those ears on the top of the Boogaloo’s head? When he was nursing, he was holding on to that and swing it all over the place. It gave him something to do with his hands rather than bruise me. It was the first time I could let out that breath I was holding while nursing in a couple of months.
And, then after he was done nursing, look what happened -
He feel asleep with Inoo-LaLa. That was so darn cute!
Alyce has been carrying hers around also, and she slept with hers too. She has lots of dolls, but nothing that is really soft enough to sleep with. The dolls that she goes to sleep with usually end up on the floor, but this was tucked up in her arms this morning when I checked on her.
Just for the nursing help alone (not to mention the cuteness and that both the kids love them to pieces!), I’m going to have to give this one a huge
Now, I’m going to have to dig us out of the 14.5″ of snow we got last night. Actually, Pato is going to have to dig us out. He’s off work again. They closed for the snow. I want to go to the store and get some new Christmas ornaments. Our stash gets smaller and smaller every year. We have the tree up now, just need to decorate.
Have a wonderful warm day! Hope you aren’t too snowed in! And if you like giveaways, don’t forget to check out the ones I’ve posted on my other blog – Giveaway Chick.
Thank you to BlaBla for providing us with their Boogaloo dolls to review
