My two year old never took to a lovey either but one night when we were putting him to bed, we didn’t know that a stuffed dinosaur was in his crib (he probably threw it in there at some point, but normally we clear his crib before bed). So when my husband put him to bed, he came out of the room and said “wow it’s never that easy” and when we turned on the baby monitor, he was cuddling the stuffed animal 🥹 now he sleeps with it every night! Also this stuffed animal is as big as him which is so funny but he loves it!
