Angelique has recently really glommed onto this toy moose at the museum. I am *certain* that it must have originally been a moose another child left there, but by now it's been there so long that... well... it's not anymore. She calls it Moosey. She carries it everywhere. She's asked the staff if she can take it home (and they said no, of course). So instead she tries hiding it so that she can get it back first thing when we show up again.
I caved, found out which sort of Beanie Baby it turned out to be, and ordered her a new one without telling her.
Got it in the mail. Small problem. This moose comes in big and small sizes - and I got the wrong moose.
Well, I snuck in and stuck it on her hammock anyway, and tried again.
This time, I used a tape measure, and I think I've picked the correct moose. Only thing is that it's not being made anymore, so I had to order it from a private seller on Amazon.
The guy said this in his description:
GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC! pcalton has been buying, collecting and selling TY Buddies since the beginning. ~~~ This Buddie was purchased NEW from an AUTHORIZED Ty Dealer, then CAREFULLY wrapped with PROTECTIVE and HIGH QUALITY acid-free tissue, and stored in SMOKE-FREE environment. ABSOLUTELY NEW, never played with and the Heart Tag is protected with Acid-free tag protector; SHINNY NEW SHEEN, soft, cuddly and totally cute! ~~~ Shipped in acid-free tissue. WE GUARANTEE YOUR SATISFACTION!!!
It's all very reassuring (almost as much as his approval rating), but it does make me feel slightly guilty that all that effort and all those capital letters are just going to be up and given to a four year old child.
Oh well. Needs must, and all that.
