Ever since my cousin Joely's accident, Aubree has been a little traumatized. But she found a way to feel okay about it. Meet her new baby Joely....she takes her EVERYWHERE we go. She is quick to tell you that her baby fell off a deck and "broke her head." She has two bandaids (that Aubree put on by her self) to cover up her owies. She has a "circle owie" above her eye, and a big "line owie" across her head.
She takes really good care of her, and makes sure that if you hold her, you do too! I have to be real careful with her head so that it doesn't hurt her more. Iv'e even had a couple of people (from a distance) believe I was holding a real baby, because of the way I was holding her. Aubree makes her a bed every night, and gets her comfortable in the stroller for walks.
The green blanket is her "(Joely)" special blanket and also follows.
Apparently this is a real method of coping that psychologists' recommend to parents to help thier children.....well Aubree (my super smartie pants) just decided to do it on her own!
I'm glad she found a way to cope. :)
