That was the sweetest thing you did for Ruchie. I know the little puppy beanie will help her a lot.
When my kids were little I had a stuffed cartoon character we called "Karancha" and whenever they got down about something I would bring him out and say, "Karancha wouldn't want you to feel bad". It really did the trick. Believe it or not, I still have Karancha and sent him to my grown son when he was having a tough time....yes, it helped.
