I've fallen head over heels for a giraffe. What has become of my life?!?! A RUBBER GIRAFFE, I TELL YOU!
I've had my eye on Sophie for over a year now when I spotted her on the Cheeky Monkey website. And what's not to like? Amidst the frenzy about buying products that are lead-free, non-toxic, bisphenol-A-free, made only by Oompa-Loompas (okay, I added that one in for effect), Sophie is as pure as the driven snow. She made her debut in 1961, made of natural rubber (phtalate-free) & non-toxic paint. Oh, and the creme de la creme is that she's made in France. How very shi-shi, n'est pas?
By the time I developed a serious crush on that gorgeous rubber giraffe, both my children had screamed & chewed their way through the worst of their teething. There was really no justifiable reason for me to bring Sophie home without prompting more than a few raised eyebrows.... So I've admired her from afar.
Today, I finally found a reason to use my MasterCard to bring Sophie into my life, if only for a brief moment. Sophie will bring my good friend's daughter endless hours of comfort and joy. I can't wait to give it to her! She'll love it! I love it! Hmmmm.... Maybe she'd get just as much comfort & enjoyment from a bottle of gripe water. I might have to reconsider gifting ma chere Sophie.
