“Gou-gou” means, dog in Chinese. It was my eldest son’s first word thanks to his grandma. It is also the name of his cherished lovey. Dear gou-gou came to us from an old friend and Pottery Barn Kids. He’s worn, tattered and just plain beaten up but only because he is dragged, kissed and squeezed daily. It will be bittersweet the day my growing boy gives up his gou-gou. And while I plan to one day package gou-gou away in a box (can’t help but think Toy Story here), how sweet and symbolic would it be capture my son’s best friend in a custom portrait? After all, gou-gou is kinda like family. He sits at the dinner table and has enjoyed every family vacation to date!
Artist Erin Chainani has cleverly created the Miami based business, First Friends, allowing us sentimental mommies keep precious childhood toys and the “gou-gou’s” of the world alive! Erin is a mom of twins, former NYC costume designer and Yale trained artist.

My little guy got his first car for Christmas and he is now obsessed with all moving vehicles. He plays with it every waking moment and a portraiture of it would be a forever keepsake.

Our family received an Edible Arrangement last year at Christmas, complete with a mylar baloon and plush snowman. My son instantly latched onto the snowman and has yet to give him up. He goes almost everywhere and is a pre-requisite for bedtime.

My oldest sons favorite lovey is a Chick Fil A stuffed cow. We gave to him after we went to a Grand Opening of Chick Fil A in our area. He has been sleeping with his “Moo Moo”, he calls it, since he was 10 months old and he is now 4 years old.

I didn’t think he would every get attached to a lovey since my 4 1/2 year old daugther didn’t. I’m not ready for the day when he can’t take lovey to school with him.

My 2 year old son’s very first toy(s) was two little stuffed animals given to him right after birth by my mother. One was an elephant and one was a giraffe. I have them both on display on his bookshelf. They mean so much to me, just like he does!!

The first gift I received for my 18 month old, Osker was given to me two years ago. Doggy was the softest stuffed animal until the loving began one year ago. Doggy goes everywhere my little man and I travel. Every once in a while, Doggy even takes a bubble bath with Osker. Sadly, I have searched online to find Doggy’s twin, and first impressions has stopped making our special lovey. Needless to say, Doggy cannot be lost and will be patched up when the time comes. Osker’s first word was, you guessed it, “Doggy”. A portrait of Doggy would be cherished for a lifetime.

I would love a painting of my “bear on fire” my grey bear and pacifier. My mom bought me the Snuggle promotion bear at the supermarket checkout to quiet me down when I was 6 months old and I still have it (hidden in my moms house because my husband threatened to throw it out) 28 years later! That bear, and big yellow pacifier on a red yarn ribbon went everywhere with me as a child. There are so many pictures from my childhood where you can see a little grey fur with and red ribbon peeking in. It survived hospitalizations, hotel laundry, lots of trips and excursions, and lots of hugs and tears. Even in highschool I left it on the corner of my desk. Now it’s missing and eye and barely any fur, but the memories I still cherish.
My children have had lovies, mostly they have come and gone. However, there is one stuffed duck attached to a pacifier that my son loved. We called it “suck a duck” and he carried it around for the 3 1/2 years of his life. It became his badge and it was at his side when he passed away. We framed it next to a picture of him in my bedroom. A year after he passed away my friend bought an identical one for my daughter when she was born. She’s 3 and still sleeps with her “duck duck”.

I knit a little lamb for my baby a few months before she was born, and my hubby and I kissed it every night to fill it with love for her. We brought it to the hospital so we can tell her she’s had Lamby since the day she was born (we made sure to take pics of them together to show her later). She’s three weeks old now, and I hope she comes to love Lamby as much as he’s sure to love her.

My son’s favorite lovey is a stuffed rabbit. My parents actually bought it for me when I was little, maybe 5 or 6, and I passed it on to my son when he was born. It definitely has a well-loved look to it, but we both adore it!

I thought about this as we were putting our son down for bed tonight. He has 3! He had “Mr. Froggy” that stays on his crib & he reaches for him every time he goes to sleep and then there is the lion that arrived as a birthday gift & he loves to hug & kiss him..too cute! AND, the most special is a Teddy bear that his great grandparents brought all the way from England for my husband when he was a baby … It has been saved and kept in great condition, my mother in law sent it with a beautiful note when she found out we were expecting and this Teddy bear sat patiently in the nursery awaiting our sons arrival and now watches over him every night!!!

My daughter’s most cherished toy is a gray stuffed hippo, aptly named “Hippo-paw-hammus” (hippopotamus) or “Mee-sir Hippo” (Mr. Hippo) for short. She was just over a year old when she picked him up off a store shelf and wouldn’t put him down. I knew right then that she had found a forever friend, since she wasn’t (and still isn’t) the kind of child who easily warms up to just any unfamiliar toy. Almost three years later…”Mr. Hippo”, fur not nearly as soft, with a tendency to slouch and a tattered tush tag that she absolutely refuses to have cut…is still her trusty, very well-loved shadow. She’ll be four in May and I know that she would be over the moon to have a painting of him. It brings tears of joy to my eyes just thinking of a day in the future when she’ll look fondly at the painting of her very first best friend and be flooded with so many wonderful childhood memories.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea. My eldest son has a little monkey that he sucked his fingers with and had to have everywhere we went. He named it “Night Night” when he was little and he still sleeps with it – he is 7 years old! It is pretty worn and might not hold out until college! :) I would love to have a custom portrait of his Night Night – such a beautiful idea.
Jennifer
Wow-my son’s lovey is “Bear” and we put him in his bed at 4 months old. He’s 3 and a half now and sleeps with him every night. He has been on all our vacations and helped during many a sick day. We actually looked for backups of this tiny blue bear, but had no luck. He is tattered and torn (and sometimes stinky…), but couldn’t be more loved!

For my 2nd birthday I got a newborn Cabbage Patch doll and a kitten. I named the doll Cabbage and the kitten, Feep. Creative, right? ;) The kitten was stolen a few years later by a crazy neighbor, but now in my mid-20’s, Cabbage is still a loved member of my family. She even stays in the guestroom (aka future nursery!). Her fabric body has several fudgcicle stains from the early 1990’s.. Her nose and ears were ground flat by a treadmill accident in ’96.. That sme year she had her first wardrobe changed when my little brother was born and I stole one of his newborn outfits.. In school when we talked about fire safety and how it’s important to get out the house right away and not to bring anything, I would protest in horror–Cabbage would NOT be left behind to burn! She survived my summer trips to Kansas where my German grandmother insisted she needed a bath as soon we stepped off the plane. My grandmother would kidnap her while I wasn’t looking, place her in a pillowcase, and wash and dry her. I would cry and pout, worried sick! Everytime I talk to my grandmother she still, to this day, asks me how Cabbage is and when the last time she had a bath was. I would LOVE a little painting of her for my nursery, I think it would add such a special, meaningful touch.

Crumbles the bear came to us when my daughter had her tonsils out on her 3rd birthday. Just like her, he was very brave in the hospital, letting the doctors bandage him up and then helping her eat icecream cake afterwards! She is now 6 and the longest they have been apart is when she goes to school each day. Although he does often come along in the car to see her off and pick her up. He came all the way from the UK to Australia and I often worry what would happen if something happened to Crumbles, as I am not sure we could replace him. He is starting to show some signs of wear and tear now, after three years of being dragged around everywhere – but this only adds to his appeal!
I also liked both your pages on Facebook! And tweeted about it from my business page… (the inspired occasion)

My daughter’s lovey is a teddy bear she named “Teddy” (real creative, I know) who she carries around EVERYWHERE. She used to be white but for the life of me I cannot get her to be anything but a tarnished gray. Capturing her in her original white condition on the wall would be lovely! :)

Oh my goodness! I love this! My nephew not only carries around a stuffed Mickey Mouse everywhere he goes, but FEEDS him! I have to clean poor Mickey’s mouth out every night, as it is constantly full of cookies, french fries, and goodness knows what else! Mickey even has his own chair at the table, as Cooper insisted that Mickey be able to eat with the family (He is a part of the family, after all). I would love to win one of these for his bedroom, as we are planning a Mickey overhaul while he visits his great aunt and grandma in Kansas in a few weeks.

My daughter has had “Ticky” a yellow plaid blanket since birth. When she was 3, she tripped over Ticky while walking down our stairs and was told he had to stay in her room. At 3 1/2, we went to my brother’s and realized Ticky was left behind. At 2am I heard something and went to where she was. She was laying in bed, tears streaming down her face. I asked what was wrong. “I miss Ticky.” At 12 (and she was still sleeping with Ticky under her pillow) her father asked what she was going to do with Ticky when she got married. “He’ll have to love Ticky too!”
Now she is 25 and has left home. Has a great job as an RN. To this day, when you go to her room here at home, you will STILL find Ticky under that same pillow. He’s ratty, we’re scared to wash him, some of the binding is gone, but she still loves that blanket!

Out of the three boys, I would have to pick my middle child’s baby monkey he’s had since he was born. A dear friend started a “monkey” tradition with us, giving each child a stuffed monkey as a newborn gift and our 4 year old is still clinging to his as I type! It would make a gorgeous piece of art work I’m sure! THX!

My toddler loves his “Zaya” raggedy boy-dall together with the Lightening McQueene. It’s a combination that puts a smile on my face! His “Zaya” came to him as a gift from my husband and me when he turned one. And for the past 2 years, my baby-toddler cherished this toy amazingly. “Zaya” has been washed many times, but keeps his head up and the colors did not fade a tid-bit!

My son has a soft well-worn stuffed dog, which he named Jonova (he made that up…don’t know WHERE it came from!). He’s 6 now, and the 2 have been inseparable for about 4 years! In bed at night before he falls asleep, he and Jonova have a talk about the days events. It’s a bit like Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon…..my husband and I set outside his room and listen in. It’s very entertaining….and very sweet!

My 2 year old son’s favorite toy is a handmade stuffed dinosaur we recieved as a gift before he was born. He has worn it out so much, we recently had to seek out the lady who made it and had her make an identical one so we could switch it out with the one that is falling apart. I was afraid of my son’s reaction but he seemed pretty excited to see “Dino” looking so fresh and new again!!

My son has a stuffed dog that he adores. He got this dog as a gift before he was even born. It was one of those things I never thought much about and stuck in his closet. It was a white stuffed dog with black spots. One day when my son was about two he drug this stuffed animal out of the closet and started palying with it. Eventually he started sleeping with it. Soon he named it…Spot, very original. Eventually spot was our family pet. People would tell my son about their real, live animals and he would in return tell them about Spot. Yes, we felt bad that he thought of a stuffed dog like other people thought about their real dogs and eventually we got a real dog. My son is now 6 years old and even though he loves his real dog, Spot is still very special to him. Spot has been to show and tell days numerous times, he has been on all his overnight trips, he has been in numerous school drawings, stories, etc., and Spot has a house in the playroom that has been specially built for him. Spot goes to bed with him every night and comes downstairs with him every morning. My son always knows where Spot is. My son loves this stuffed dog as if he was real and over the years our whole family has come to embrace this stuffed dog like a family pet as well. Silly? Maybe…but it brings my son great joy and that is what really counts. To have a portrait of Spot would be priceless.

My four year old’s love of his life is “eet-eet”, the monkey. Before he could talk, he could make the sounds and that is how eet-eet came about. When he was a baby, he tried wrapping his blanket around his head and we got nervous, decided to switch out the blankie for a lovey and it has been going strong since. We bought three “eet-eets” just in case of an accidental “misplacement.” But, thankfully, the original is still in play, and actually, now – he knows the difference between the three, obviously. Funny, it actually comforts me to look at him sitting snuggly, with “eet-eet’s” tail wrapped around his hand and his thumb in his mouth. I know that we have to start to limit his “eet-eet” time, since he is now four years old. But I do believe that I will have a hard time giving him up, a portrait would be a perfect memory…….beautiful work!

Oh how neat! I would love one made for my new niece due April 3. My sister has a zebra lovey and I think it would be perfect. Thanks so much!

Wow, just looking at these portraits makes me a little weepy. The thought of having my 3 year old son’s beloved “Monkey” beautifully painted, no matter how tattered it currently is would make him so happy. He got his first Monkey at 6 months old and loved it so much we went ahead and bought a 2nd and then a 3rd. This way they go in and out of rotation and when one is being washed, there is a backup. He doesn’t really know at this point that they are different but he’s catching on. :\ Sadly, Monkey #1 was lost a few months ago but Monkey #2 quickly took it’s place! Sure hope we win!

I would absolutely adore a portrait of “Duck Duck”. He has been my daughter’s constant companion, from her trip home from the hospital until now, almost 6 years later. He is tattered, faded, and his bill is a little longer than it should be from all of the extra lovin’. A portrait would be something that she would love to have hanging in her room now, and something she could pass down to her children too, since I seriously doubt that Duck Duck will be much more than threads by that point! I am already a fan of PN on facebook, and after some searching, I found First Friends on there too :) Thanks so much!

My little girl has a stuffed duck toy that she just loves! I found it a secondhand shop. She doesn’t always have to have it, but when she sees it her whole face lights up!

My daughter’s first toy and friend was a stuffed Barney. She carried it everywhere with her. She finally got to see Barney in person.
