Coconut's Magnet Mouth

[gingerharp]

I have a question on the magnet in Coconut's mouth. I noticed that she held her Christmas toy quite well, but the pink Valentine's Day bone doesn't seem to hold well. It's really hard to get to stay in place and if you look at it cross eyed it falls off. My husband moved it just a little and it fell off and he thought he had broke it. The Christmas snowman I had you could carry Coconut all around and it would hold.
Is my Coconut losing her magnetic mouth? Or is the Valentine bone too heavy and doesn't hold well?

Nothing's wrong with your coconut, I think the bone's just too heavy. I have a couple sets and I don't have any problems with her holding any of the toys except the rubber duckie from the spa set. The duck is way too heavy and you have to pull the fur back from the magnet to get it to stay at all, and even then is falls sometimes [img]frown.gif[/img]
There isn't really anything you can do, just try and get the magnet on the bone really close to the magnet on the mouth [img]smile.gif[/img]

We went out to dinner tonight and while we were waiting for a table DD struck up a conversation with a girl and her Samantha. They were later seated close to us. What we didn't see before was that 2 younger girls in their party had Coconut and Licorice. They had so much fun getting them to hold the forks. It was really cute!

We found that coconut needed a good grooming in order for her to hold on to her valentines treat.

We trimmed some of the hair around her mouth and eye areas. That seems to have helped.

thank you for the tips.
However am a little afraid to start cutting away at her mouth. I am awful with scissors.
When she's in her Valentine outfit I'll just tip toe around her so she doesn't drop it. And if she does drop it maybe she's just telling me she doesn't want to be dressed up like cupid anymore.
I'm glad to know I didn't do something to weaken her magnet.
