I have been on the look out for Kayden’s transition item. A transition item is like a security blanket for small children. It can be a blanket, teddy bear, or doll. I went through Kayden’s nursery yesterday putting away the clothes that she’s grown out of and I came across some other items that I forgot about. Kayden came a few weeks early so luckily my mom and Katrina were here to help me put the finishing touches on the nursery. This included putting things away from my baby shower (yeah, I procrastinated a little!). I continued to find new treasures every time I would go rearrange things in the nursery. Now I can say I finally have a hand on everything she has and I found her ‘chubby bunny’. I gave it to Kayden yesterday and she enjoyed chomping on the face and ears and holding onto the blanket part. I think we found our transition item!

I have heard people suggest that the mom should sleep with the item so that it smells like her. I decided to go ahead and try this last night. I will continue to sleep with it for the next few nights so that it soaks up my scent! Weird maybe, but I think she loves it that much more now that it smells like mommy!
