HUMMM....

Hum is an unknown entity to many people so i thought i would introduce you to him today.  Hum has been in our lives since Thanksgiving 2009.  Hum sleeps with my daughter, sits with my daughter, dances with her, eats with her, shops with her, and drinks fake tea with her. Hum was brought home as a reward for Kenzie being good all day while being dragged around shopping on black Friday.  We don't leave the house without a Hum.  When Kenzie is scared or happy, she needs Hum.
Hum is a bear.  Hum's name didn't start out as such...he was originally named Rudy, but Kenzie never called him that.  Whenever she would get sad she would just start whining and going hmmmm hmmmmm.  We never knew what she wanted and got very annoyed.  One day her babysitter pointed out that she would say hmmm hmmmm and then go and get her bear.  We then realized that she had named her bear hmm.  We can only assume that it was named that because we would tell her to 'go and get him.'  'Him' became hmmmm, became Hum.  Anyone whose child has ever loved one certain thing knows that said creature always gets dirty, or left behind somewhere, and the following hours or days are pretty awful.  So we got smart, and we went back to Old Navy after Christmas and found more HUMs.  2 more.  We currently have a status of 3 Hums, and an additional bid on one more on ebay.  We have had to go for another one since my son is also in love with Hum and we fear another 4+ years of Hum attachments.
