Ok here is the deal. My nephew has this little stuffed penguin from the movie Happy Feet, i believe his name is mumble.
Well mumble is like his security blanket or i should say toy. He plays with it, drags him everywhere, took it on a trip and sleeps with it.
One day they thought they lost it while they were on vacation and my little nephew started to cry and said he could not sleep cuz he needed his mumble.
My sister almost started to cry with him, she said he never got so emotional like that.
He is 3 so i guess this is normal to get attached to something, from what i read, some kids have blankets others have toys. ( i'm a new mommy of a baby so i'm not there yet)
My sister said she needs to find another mumble cuz if he looses this one they are in big trouble. Well she 's been looking and cant find it in any stores, she's looked online and said its 25 or 30dollars and up plus tax and shipping.
She payed wayyy less than that at TArget, and if it wasnt that i'm not working right now i would spend the money just for her peace of mind and mine.
Has anyone seen this at any stores by any chance? I posted it in the free cycle to see if anybody has one they no longer want or that their kid out grew.
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions please let me know. Thanks ladies

What can I do next?

Oh, I know this situation all too well! My 3 year old daughter is extremely attached to a blanket that she cannot live without. Anyway, I would say check out Goodwill. They have loads and loads of stuffed animals that they sell for 49 cents. There is a Goodwill in Batavia off of Randall Road as well as one in Naperville. Good luck!!

Oh, goodness! I just gave away some toys, including Mumble!! I had a similar situation where I threw an old ratty toy out and my son kept asking for it (and he has Down syndrome- he barely talks!!) and because it is no longer made, I went to Ebay and lucked out with someone 5 miles away so I didn't pay shipping and got it cheap and like new! Worth a try!
