My bonding experience with Brownnie & Brownie Jr. in play therapy class was a pretty neat experience in play therapy. Literally taking Brownie everywhere with me was just like adding one more child. Brownie came into our family about 2 years ago during a family reunion in Orlando. My husband won Brownie at Universal Studios playing a basketball game. Brownie actually just sits on my dresser in my bedroom. My children know that Brwonie belongs to me and they can not remove Brownie from my bedroom.
Brownie Jr. came into our family about 3 weeks ago when my daughter thought he was just the cutest thing on the shelf in the store. She said that he reminded her of my Brownie and she wanted one just like him. As soon as we got home my daughter placed Brownie Jr. next to Brownie on my dresser. She forgot about Brownie Jr. after a few days, so that's how Brownie & Brownie Jr. became part of the family and participated in my assignment.
Having two children already made this play therapy assignment easy for me. My daughter just turned 9 years old and she just stopped taking her teddy bear out with her. Im very used to having stuffed anilmals accompany us to the the grocery stores, restaurants, and even over to Grandma's house. The nuturing part of me naturally comes out, I guess that's also the mommy component. I didn't worry about strange looks from people and I actually didn't even feel strange, it felt natural and comfortable. This was a fun play therapy assignment.
