My ewok stopped breathing!

First I should admit that I sleep with a stuffed ewok and have been for last 6.5 years (the cute Wicket not the one with the plastic nose/mouth).  He was originally DH’s when he was a kid.  Wicket went everywhere with Scott (sort of like my stuffed Henry).  Okay, now that you know a little about Wicket’s background, I’ll move on to the reason why I mentioned him…

Since Henry started sleeping in his own room (at around 8 weeks old), I’d wake up in the middle of the night in a panic that Wicket wasn’t breathing.  At first I was thinking Wicket *was* Henry.  The first time it happened I even tried a little CPR and really panicked until I realized it was Wicket and not Henry.  The last time was earlier this week.  This time I thought Wicket was sort of a baby monitor.  So if Wicket was breathing so was Henry.  Therefore since Wicket wasn’t breathing, neither was Henry.  Once I woke up enough to determine that Wicket was just Wicket (ie a stuffed ewok and doesn’t breathe) and not a Henry monitor, I was still a bit upset so I had to go sneak into Henry’s room to really make sure he was breathing.  I think it started up again when Henry started sleeping on his belly a couple of weeks ago.
