A Letter From One of Our Families
"She calls it her Googoogahgah and brings it everywhere."
"Ever since my son was born in January earlier this year, my daughter has been absolutely obsessed with her purple penguin teether again. She's currently 2.5 years old and has had her teether ever since she was an infant. Her obsession with it started when I gave my son a blue penguin teether and she really wanted one to have as her own — so I gave her the old purple one she had as a baby. She calls it her Googoogahgah and brings it with her anywhere. She even sleeps with it at night."
"We've now collected nearly all the colors! Each teether represents someone in our family. The purple reindeer teether is me, the orange reindeer one is my husband, and even the yellow penguin one represents our family dog! So when we're playing with chalk outside on our driveway, she asks me to draw all of the teethers as our whole family. I keep having to draw them over and over every time it rains. 🌧️"
"I was reaching out to see if you have any merch or any other products — but in case there isn't anything else out there, I hope this email brings you joy to show how much we appreciate your product!"
— Isabel Feit & Family 💜🧡💛
