"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Let me introduce Mr. Beans.

Mr. Beans (aka Beans) is a hair doll.
Both Noah and Asher played with my hair (well, play with my hair)
One night I was trying to cook dinner (which inevitably ends up being the craziest time of the day)
and Asher needed to be held so he could play with my hair (it's like his little lovey).
I admit I got a little frustrated.
So, I searched on google for solutions for kids that play with hair and this doll showed up.
I know it looks a little weird  and it's been called a voodoo doll a few times but it really is a life saver.
I can go to sleep without a baby laying on my head and he carries it around twirling the hair in his ear and on his nose. He loves it.
If he has his mimi (pacifier) he has to have beans.


Ok, little blurry but I don't mind if you don't. Also, yes that is real hair.

I totally understand needing creative remedies for these little ones, I'm also a little creeped out, but hey if it works! LOL!

That is weird....but I have a sister-in-law that could have been saved by a "Beans" when her little boy was younger. :0) I'm glad you found a solution.

Eh, it's not that weird. You gotta do what you gotta do. A Barbie doll would have been a little strange. I liked your anniversary post, it was real.

That's awesome, and even more awesome that it works for him! Also, we call our binkies mimi's too.

You can definitely copy my post Erin, I am really flattered that you liked it that much. The quote from sister Hinckley is the best part. :)
