So far, each of my kids have a special cuddly friend. The chosen one. That precious item that keeps their world spinning and helps them fall asleep.
It’s the one thing I’m most terrified of losing because you’ve seen Armageddon right? Except instead of Bruce Willis saving the universe and everyone living happily ever after, it’s the alternate ending where everything gets blown up into a gazillion little pieces.
And this is coming from someone who has lost a number of pretty important things. Like my wedding ring. Wallets. Phones. A $2,000 cheque that I accidentally chucked down the chute (which btw, I managed to retrieve by opening up the chute downstairs and digging through a pile of poopy diapers, an army of cockroaches and other nasty stuff that shall not be described in detail). But none of those things are as bad as losing THE PRECIOUS.
For Truett, it was his blue striped blankie and Kirsten had her precious duck duck. Finn, well, he’s finally made his choice.
Might I add that this selection process is an elaborate one because one does not just anyhowly select a best friend. Since he was born, we’d give him different variations of cuddliness like a blue bunny, a white bunny, a bear, a giraffe and even Kirsten’s spare duck. He’d take one, roll it around in his fingers, smell it, rub it against his cheeks, taste it and then toss it. He did this to each one multiple times until yesterday, he finally settled on a supersoft minky blanket, pressed it to his cheeks and fell asleep.
He held on to this blanket all of last night and this morning, he was all over the thing trying to make out with it.
I think we found a winner.

So all your three kids have something for blankies! I have read your post abt Kirsten’s missing duck blanket before, cute! Just wondering where can I get cute animal blanket here? Most I see are bath towels. Kah Yen seems to hate anything on her when she sleeps, maybe a cute animal blankie will help.
Abby´s last post ..I forget you are only two
The duck one was from Goldbug but it’s not sold here anymore. I think Mothercare has quite a decent selection.
If you’re looking for the full sized baby blankets, you can try Fox baby, Carters, or maybe some of the department stores. I’ve seen some really cute ones.
So… are you going out to buy a few more of those blankets just like you did for Kirsten’s duck duck? BTW what was the resolution to that? Did you manage to buy another duck duck?

I would like to but my brother bought it from Sydney a few years ago (it was meant for Kirsten but she hated it) so I don’t think I’ll be able to find a replacement. Maybe I’ll cut it into 4 pieces so I can keep the rest as back up.
Oh and Kirsten now has 5 ducks (all shipped in from UK) :)
ohhh boy. you better have a back up plan. like try to get him equally attached to another item or something. lol
I doubt it’ll work now that he’s got his sights set on this one.
DON’T GIVE UP! hahaha. and if you remember the packaging maybe u can find it online. hurhur.

Sigh, I think the packaging is long gone. :(
If I ever lose it, I’ll turn to crowdsourcing. Better take detailed pics of it now.
His hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL one word: Boomz.
Yikes, that sounds quite risky to get him attached to something that you don’t have spares of. But then he’s a mellow one from what I gather so maybe it won’t be that big a deal even if *touchwood*….
Elaine´s last post ..“This one not worm”
Haha maybe we won’t lose this one! I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed :)
I think it’s what they call ‘臭臭’ lol. I think I had one too but I grew out of it pretty fast. Anyway, HOW DID YOU LOSE YOUR WEDDING RING?!! Omg, I just got proposed to and it’s really quite stressful having a ring on my finger. I keep staring at it, touching it, to make sure IT’S STILL THERE. I’m so scared I’ll be one of those bimbos we see in shows who remove their ring to wash their hands and then leave the toilet ring-free. O.o
Bun Bun Makeup Tips´s last post ..I Have Gone To The World Of Crazy Hair Colors At Salon Vim Bugis, And Am Not Turning Back!
Ok in my defence, it slipped off when I took off my gloves in the snow at Lake Tahoe. I blame the cold air or something…
And more importantly, CONGRATS!!! So happy for you!!
I love love love love love your children’s luscious hair. Finn’s really one handsome chap. ‘Cute’ wouldn’t even cut it.
Awwww thanks! That’s really sweet !!
Do u live ard katong? I thought I saw a similar duck at 112 Katong, same level as star hub shop, the shop that sells earth or natural toys?
Yes I do hang out at 112 Katong once in a while – think I know which shop you’re referring to. Will go check it out. :)
Ironically, my kids don’t have blankies (their attachment to their plushies is quite faddish) but my husband does! In the form of an old Snoopy plush which he had when he has a kid and still sleeps with…

When he *was* a kid, I meant.

LOL so um, cute. Good that your kids aren’t attached to plushies too, one less thing to carry around and lose.
aww that’s sweet :) is that a birth mark on his hand? My girl has a similar one but on her right ;p
Ai Sakura´s last post ..Where to Buy Japanese Liz Lisa Girly Fashion Style in Singapore?
Very observant!! Yeap it’s a birthmark, Kirsten has one on her right too, looks exactly the same. Tru was asking me why he doesn’t have one – he wanted one as well!
