Real-Life Teddy


Rowdy ("3 next birfday") protests about going to bed - daily. Crash goes off to bed no problem and is an absolute dream in comparison - he actually tells us off if we make too much noise. Rowdy never wants to go to bed and once he's in bed there is a succession of delaying tactics; "I want to read for a little bit", so we cave and let him read for 5 minutes and then it's lights out. Then we get "Mum! Mum!" and discover "there's a monster!", so we kill off the monsters and go out again. Thankfully "Mum Mum" has turned into "Dad, Dad" as Dad is far better at monster eradication. Last night Rowdy called me in and I was thinking he was wanting our cat Bailey out of his room. Nope, he wanted Bailey under his sheets, with him. Bailey obliged and then got pats and cuddles and loving up until the point Rowdy fell asleep!! Fantastic! A real-life teddy!! He stayed for hours and looked pretty cosy. Let's hope Bailey is good at monster-nabbing too!!
