ooooh...i can't sleep without it...!

Jihan in action!

smiling happily with her "bantal busuk"


i'm sure that many of us had a favourite pillow or blanket or toys during our childhood days that we can't live without it...when i was a little girl, (i can still remember it very vividly) i loved to take the string at the end of my bolster and put it inside my nostril or my ears....(hahaha!) ..i think at that time, it gave me a pleasure by doing so...

my little girl started to have the same habit when she was about 1 year old....she would take the edge of her pillow or blanket and started brushing her eyelids or nose or ears or even her palm...she would do that when she was feeling sleepy and would usually doze off.....

she wouldn't mind if her pillowcase or blanket are washed...some of the kids won't let their parents to wash them...i have a friend who had a bright idea regarding this matter...she would buy 2 sets of similar blanket for her daughter...so she wouldn't have problem of washing one as her daughter will have another similar blanket to sleep with it....

as parents, we need to make sure that physical hygiene of our children is not compromised...pillows/pillowcase/blankets/soft toys need to be washed or aired regularly to prevent dust/dustmites....furthermore if you and your partner have history of asthma/allergies as your children might have that too....
