Well, Big Bunny wasn't reluctant, Lucie was. Thus the delay in posting. No matter what I did, that girl didn't want to get her picture taken this week.
This was the best picture I could take. Actually, Lucie was hiding under the covers and Big Bunny was leaning up against my pillow. I had to uncover Lucie just to get a picture of the two of them.
And forget trying to interview that girl. Instead, this week I'll tell you about Big Bunny.
Where did Big Bunny come from?
Actually, I bought Big Bunny for Nathan. It's a larger version of his stuffed animal, Bunny. Bunny is so worn out that you can see his stuffing through his fur. It's so bad that we dress him in Nathan and Lucie's old preemie pajama outfits to keep him from falling apart. At seven, Nathan still sleeps with Bunny and takes him on trips. I don't have a problem with that since I slept with my favorite buddy, Baby Bear, until I moved in with my first live-in boyfriend.
Originally, Nathan received a very small Beanie Baby sized version of him from my sister, Michele. Unfortunately, we lost it in San Diego, and Nathan was very upset.
I found the larger version online. which is now his current buddy. I'll never forget the day that the UPS man dropped off the box. I put it on the floor, opened it, and pulled out Bunny. Nathan took one look at him, ran over, and grabbed him. They've been best buddies ever since.
I bought a back up of that size buddy since he loved it so much. I was scared that he'd lose it and would be devastated. While I was ordering it, I saw that the larger, white version was on sale. If a medium sized Bunny is good, why not a bigger one? Thus Big Bunny came to our house.
What's up with that dress?
Big Bunny is wearing Lucie's Minnie Mouse dress from 2004 when she was 22 months old and still sucking down those baa-baas. (That's a story for another time.)
I dressed her up as Minnie Mouse that Halloween. I loved how Lucie looked in that dress so much that I couldn't part with it when she grew out of it.
So, I was thrilled that it fit Big Bunny. It gave me an excuse to keep the dress.
