Bye Bye TuTu

Lucas has lost another love. First it was moomoo and now it's TuTu. Tutu has been his best friend too since like he was a baby. And frankly, it was Mine too! I mean that small unassuming thingy has magical powers I tell you.

-Lucas can't sleep:put tutu in and well, dreamland here we go
-Lucas has crying fit in car: put tutu in and well, our eardrums have stopped vibrating
-Lucas goes on a long trip in aero plane: put tutu in entire journey, people look at us with awe coz we have such a well behaved youngster
-Lucas screams coz he wants to buy a toy and we say no: put tutu in and he immediately let's go of said toy and we save few thousand yen

See, so powerful! And yet, all good things must come to an end. Thanks to the father who decided enough was enough. So one fine night, he told Lucas that he was a big boy, a Thomas boy more importantly, a strong engine. Lucas says he is, promptly takes out tutu n gives to the dad.

Then.....time to go to bed, he asks for it, evil dad doesn't give, we go to bed, Lucas sobs quietly repeatedly asking for beloved tutu. Errr, mummy can't do anything, daddy has it. Told him he's a good engine, he now says no he isn't. More sobbing. Finally after much kisses n pats, he falls asleep but for the next 3 days wakes up around 2am asking for tutu...sigh.

So, fast forward to today about 2weeks post-tutu, we are doing much better, tutu has been mentioned only like twice. Kuddos to the father coz I obviously wouldn't be brave enough to pull that plug. Basically that tutu was my sanity pill.

Bye bye tutu you served your purpose well
