even if they don't sleep in bed with you every night! even if you don't play with them very often! even if they fall on the floor, or you squish them accidentally! even if you forget them in your bag overnight!

they all love you even if you've been spending a lot of time with one specific one and not as much with them! they know that different stuffies help bring you different comfort and they love you and love when you feel happy and safe!

your stuffed animals are your friends and they feel loved by you and they love you too :)

HES SOOOOO SMALL. ARE YOU KIDDING. AN ACTUAL LINE. ARE YOU KIDDINGGGG

this keeps happening to me :(

Kiddo who curls up in bed all day and can’t find the energy to move or do anything, who can’t stop themself from crying in a ball

Kiddo who can’t brush their hair or change their clothes or eat

And carer who comes in for the rescue

Carer who holds them and brushes their hair

Carer who knows their kiddo isn’t going to eat a full meal right now, but will eat something if they split a plate

“Do you wanna talk about it, bug?”

“I do. But I don’t know how, is that okay? I don’t know how to tell you about it. I’m sorry.”
