A Security Blanket of Sorts

(I know that's a cake beater but if you mentally replace it with some sort of medicine you at least have a vivid image of his fierce ways.)



We do have a number of stuffed animals for William but he isn't really a stuffed animal sort o' guy I'm afraid. If I give him one to cuddle while he's watching a movie or going to sleep, he throws it on the ground in disgust.

What he does like when he's settling in to watch his daily dose of Aristocats is to have his soother in his mouth (it's manly and tough) and in one hand he clutches a bottle of Dentinox (teething medicine) and in the other a tube of zinc cream (for diaper rashes).

And when he hurts himself and cries there is no surer or faster way to calm his little soul than to murmur "There there William" and deftly slip his bottle of Dentinox into his hand. The crying subsides almost immediately. So darling.

He also likes to sleep with the Dentinox as well and really and truly, his fist is still wrapped around it in a death-like grip in the mornings when he wakes as well.

It just warms a mother's heart.
