Oh You Fickle Heart

Oookaayy, you all know Lucas is highly attached to 2 things....His pacifier and bolster. He thinks and asks for these 2 things every time and especially in the evenings he HAS to have these. Want him to be quiet? Give him the pacifier. Wanna see him smell and hug something like it`s so precious and wonderfully smelling? Yup, his bolster.

And the thing is, in Japan it is quite impossible to find a bolster, let alone a small one, with a cow like cover. So if we ever lost it, i think that would be the ultimate tragedy..or so i thought.

A few weeks ago, yes TRAGEDY happened. In that i mean, we were leaving a park from our playdate that afternoon and i was pushing Lucas in the stroller. It was drizzling, so i was going pretty fast but i clearly remembered bending to adjust the stroller`s cover and saw the bolster. Then, few minutes later we crossed the traffic lights and took the lift down to the subway station. Then, after passing throough the gate, i realised his bolster was MISSING. You betcha i panicked. ALOT.

So i went to the information counter but they didn`t see it,then i traced back my steps to the traffic lights....NOPE, no bolster in sight. Asked the police if anyone retuurned it, NOPE..nothing...TRAGEDY...so there was nothing left to do, it was truly gone. And yes, Lucas got a good scolding for losing it. Sigh...anyway off we went to pick Gabe and went home. And yup, he went looking for his bloster which he now calls `bao`. So what did i do? I threw him the matching pillow in a form of a cow...that was used by Gabe when he was younger. I expected some big drama meltdown....guess what..no drama, he took it, analysed it, then went on to SMELL it and there and then decided he had a new found best friend. I tell you, the way he smelled it and hugged it and then smiled was pure sweeter than what he did with bao....

Amazing...kids, fickle minded creatures they are..and so i think Lucas will probably be a player next time...old gf gone? No problem, new girlfriend come.

I`ll leave you with pics of his old fave and new fave...
