Paw Has a Bath

Thursday, 25 May 2017

Paw arrived one Christmas.  A gift from the Tubblet's Auntie L.  And she loved him.  And loved him. And loved him some more.  Every birthday and Christmas list for the next few years included a request for another one.  Now we have eight.  They don't make them any more so the Tubblet's plans to build an army of Paws has been thwarted.

A Paw's life is never dull.  It is active, busy and they get up to lots of mischief. When they get really grubby, they have to have a bath.  Sometimes fabric freshener isn't enough.


Tubblet and Paw


Into the washing machine they go, then back on the bed as if nothing had happened once they've dried ...


Very sad about the incident in Manchester a few days ago.  We've been to loads of similar concerts with the Tubblet. While the music is not our thing, it's hers and developing and expressing your own taste is a real rite of passage for a young person.  She always had the best time.  Our prayers are with the families and friends of everyone involved as well as those who feel a little more anxious about the world right now.  We also give thanks for all those who offered help and comfort when it was needed.

    I can sympathise, I also have to do the occasional soft toy wash. They always look quite cute hanging up on the line. #StayClassyMama

      They do, don't they. So sweet looking, yet forlorn at the same time!

      The Tubblet gets really indigent. She must have no sense of smell ... It has been a very sad week :(

      A boil wash! Wow, rabbit must be super robust! Indeed - what a week. Hopefully we won't get another one like that any time soon

    My son loves cuddly toys too. It's a wonder he can fit into bed sometimes. But yes they do have to be wrestled away for a wash sometimes. Thank you for linking up to #ablogginggoodtime 🎉

      Thank you for hosting each week :) It's strange, the Tubblet never had any interest in dolls, just cuddly toys

      The Tubblet went through various favourites over the years, but with the Paw, it was true love! I have no idea why that toy and not any of the other lovely ones she had over the years. There is still time for your son to find The One True Toy
