Rupert is the brother who has had the hardest life, you can see it in his eyes ;)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238404584613996455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907866273535493606.post-82238725709682759442010-07-04T23:45:22.577+01:002010-07-04T23:45:22.577+01:00I remember when Rowena lost her Upsy Daisy doll on...I remember when Rowena lost her Upsy Daisy doll on day out in a Windsor last year. Wailing, tears and a dash to Argos in Maidenhead (arrival 4.55 pm; last in shop purchased; vastly relieved me). Of such traumas is parenthood (partly) made. But if it's any reassurance about losing things, while I was traumatised, by the time R got the replacement she was entirely mellow and unfazed about the whole thing and received the replacement with a look of, oh yes, Upsy Daisy, I sort of quite like that I suppose.James Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907866273535493606.post-55151173964328992882010-07-03T07:39:28.874+01:002010-07-03T07:39:28.874+01:00Hurrah Jackie! - someone else employing a Triple B...Hurrah Jackie! - someone else employing a Triple Bear Safety System. Do you issue them in rotation to ensure equal wear? We knew we couldnt be the only ones. I note your warning re. discovery. My big fear right now is that The Boy will see them going round and round in the washing machine - little beige & blue snouts and paws against the glass - and he will be scarred for life...Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228094625312171764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907866273535493606.post-13275641258630859572010-07-03T05:17:05.929+01:002010-07-03T05:17:05.929+01:00I know the fear you speak of.

It was a grand plan until he discovered our bear stash! "Wow!", I said, "Look who has come to visit...er... Humphrey...and, um... Stanley... Rupert's brothers!". We dodged a bullet on that one :)Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238404584613996455noreply@blogger.com
