Tate has a favorite toy......we call it clammy. He has had this toy since he was about 4 months old. He is almost 6 yrs now. However, the clammy didn't start out as a "clam".....it was originally a spider with 8 long legs! When I gave him the spider, many years ago, he ran outside with it & proceeded to stand on the "body" of the spider, & pull off it's legs one by one, until just the body was left.....that is when it became a "clam".
As you can imagine after 6 yrs the toy is pretty beat up. I can't remember how many times I have sewn this thing, & washed it . It is ugly to look at (see the pictures after this post ! ), but Tates loves it! He takes it to bed with him, really! When he sees us getting ready for bed, he searches for his clam & brings it with him. He usually has it in his mouth, just walking around the house, or if someone comes over he'll run to get it so he can show them his lovely toy! He has had many, many toys over the years, including a clammy look alike, in hopes that he will give up the original......but no, clammy is here to stay! Don't worry Tate, your secret is safe with me, .....& everyone who reads this post!!

Don't you love it when they hate the new $20 toy but love the old beat-up thing! We had a client once that had a "lamby". They suggested I avoid touching it if at all possible. They couldn't wash it because they were afraid it would disintigrate.
