The Aftermath

Charlie loves playing with our toys, and we don’t mind sharing.  What I don’t get is why does he seem to like MY teddy.
Once he has it, I can’t get it back. It is only when Mummy intervened … that I get Teddy back.

But this last time, Charlie did more than take Teddy. He started to maul him. 🙁He chewed at the little patch over Teddy’s heart and ripped out the stuffingI’ve had Teddy for five years and at most, Teddy’s hands were lovingly nibbled.  He is my favourite toy. Even though Mummy took precautions and bought me other Teddies just in case something like this should happen … I still preferred my first Teddy.So Mummy’s a little annoyed with Charlie.

And you know Lamb Chops – that Jake gave us?
That George had claimed as his.

Well, he got dissected too!Oh Charlie, I do understand. I used to do that till I was two and never again. So now that we have celebrated your SECOND birthday, will you stop killing our toys?!?!?!

May’s comment: I think I am more upset about Darcy’s Teddy than she is.  Though every time Charlie takes Teddy, she looks at me, as if telling me what Charlie had done and pleads with me to help her get it back. They do not fight over it. A couple of times she had managed to take it away from Charlie and he lets go when she has it. But it’s that stance and that look when she stands looking at Teddy in Charlie’s mouth that makes me want to yank it out of Charlie’s mouth.
