My 4 year old daughter has lost her number one toy, (a cuddly strawbery with green arms and legs) her boy, her main man, the thing she has slept with and kept close to her since babyhood. (She even had a birthday cake in his image last year, and he is in just about every photo ever taken of her...) It happened four months ago (only explanation is that he went out with the rubbish) and she's actually getting worse, not better (we convinced her that he was lost temporarily in the house, lying waiting to be found, which she believed.) Now she beginning to doubt it and talks about him every night, and first thing in the morning. Last night she started to cry and said, 'I don't think we'll ever find Strawberry..' Whenever anyone says anything like, "We've got a surprise for you..", her first reponse is 'Have you found Strawberry??' I am so desperate, and HAVE to find her another - trouble is he came from a charity shop for 20 p, and all it said on his label was 'PEEKO', which appears to be a toy manufacturer in Korea! He has eyes, a big smile, a red handle and a few leaves on his head! He is about the size of an adult hand! We have photos we can email if anyone has a spare (unloved) toy that fits this description. PLEASE, if there are any mums out there with any ideas on how to find a toy like this, please, please let me know!

HURRAH!!!!
He DOES look like a strawberry, but I think it is love at first sight nonetheless...

Tissy · 19/01/2004 11:18

No, I think skie should just put Strawberry on her pillow, so that he is the first thing she sees when she wakes up, then have a video camera ready to record the moment.

WSM · 19/01/2004 11:18

FAB ! Please do post photos, it'll be like one of thos photo-stories they used to do in Just Seventeen !!!

popsycal · 19/01/2004 11:21

JJ · 19/01/2004 11:23

Ooh, I can help put the photo up if you email it to me (goochersmom at yahoo dot com) and if skie takes a movie, I could put that up, too.

Where's a pic of the lost Strawberry?

popsycal · 19/01/2004 11:24

emmatmg · 19/01/2004 11:25

JJ · 19/01/2004 11:31

Haven't gotten them yet, but you put yahoo dot com, not dot co dot uk, right? That's a common mistake (I make the reverse mistake constantly.)

I'm checking my email constantly ....

emmatmg · 19/01/2004 11:32

I need to go and care for two children but can't leave either. Have built 2 yr old dd a 'tent' and encouraged her to sit in it for a bit. What would my HV say?
