Remember Him?

You can read more about him here and watch a video of little bitty Ben and Mr. Beebs here just after Ben turned 2. Then of course there is the breastfeeding phase...when Ben did not receive the breasts he requested for his third birthday...here

Ben's beloved tiger, "Mr. Beebs" has made various blog appearances over the years...he is still a fixture in Ben's life and I like to tell "Mr. Beebs"stories to him to relate real life experiences to him...our currant favorites are "Mr. Beebs forgets to be gentle to Jacob" Mr. Beebs likes to try new vegetables" and "Mr Beebs uses the toilet"... Of course he also remains a loyal bedmate.

A few nights ago Ben woke up with a nightmare (owls...of course) and was crying for me to come lay down with him. I did and as I got up to sneak out when I was sure he was asleep again he pulled me close again suddenly and whispered "Mommy, find Mr. Beebs!" He could sense his absence as sure enough he had fallen off the end of the bed. Ben thanked me and held the tiger tight.
"Are you going to be okay now Ben?"
"Oh yes". He assured me. "Mr. Beebs eats scary things for breakfast".

Good to know.
