The Binksie Triplets?

Anyone who is around Bishop much knows about his beloved friends, the Binksie twins. He has had one of them since birth & the other came shortly thereafter when we realized which bear was "the" bear & happened to find a spare. Well, the day finally came when he discovered there was not one BUT two Binksies & from that day on they were ALL insperable...he had to have BOTH to go to sleep. We have had a few moments of worry in the last year when we thought that one or the other was lost...they were always found but there were absolute momnets of panic for one desperate mommy. And to this day Bish can ALWAYS tell & requests the ORIGINAL Binksie...I don't know how...they both look, shall we say, "well loved" at this point.
Well, this weekend Mom & I stumbled across another Binkise. I don't know how....he is a Ty bear & way past his prime but there he sat on the Hallmark shelve...there were two actually. Mom & I spotted him & wondered what to do. A third is good in theory...if we lose one we will have an extra, but if he finds it...then we would have triplets. After a little deliberation, we bought him....he was only $10...& took him home. We wanted to see Bish's face when he saw a new & clean Binksie so mom showed him to Bish & said he was Binksies brother who was going to live at her house. He looked at him, grabbed his feet & said, " I don't want him." You can imagine our shock...I guess he loves the first two too much:)! It was all very comical...& the beauty is we DO have a spare which I am sure he would accept if one of the other two went missing.
So...can you tell we have NO lives....THIS was our weekend:)!!
