When Nicholas was born it was close to Easter and the Harrell family gave him a little blue bunny that sings "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" and a cute little outfit. Nicholas has loved on the little bunny for four years now. As a baby, he would giggle like crazy any time the bunny sang to him. Even at four years old, he still likes to have the bunny sing but now he sings along with him.
Recently, Nicholas played the bunny's song and it sounds slow and sad. He got a panic in his voice and said, "What's wrong with my bunny?" I told him that like so many of his other toys, the bunny's batteries were dying. Unfortunately, his batteries are not replaceable. Nicholas got so upset when I told him that the bunny probably wasn't going to be able to sing much longer. He hugged the bunny and said, "It's ok bunny. I still love you!" He asked if he might get a new bunny for Easter next year. I told him that I would make sure the Easter Bunny took care of that for him.
