Some time ago little bear broke one of his favourite toys, a toy 'Bob the Builder' scrambler that had kindly been passed on from a friend. He was somewhat upset, so I purchased another, new to him from my friend ebay. With it came some toy goggles and toy ear protectors. Little bear is now far more attached to the goggles and ear protectors than the toy Scramber, and insists on wearing the ear protectors every time I blow bubbles for him (absolutely no idea).
And tonight the ear protectors got broken. Even dear heart can't mend them.
Little bear has a tenacious memory for his toys, he can remember them, ask for them even when they are hidden and will not be distracted. He doesn't usually throw a tantrum, but he enquires after a toy. Sometimes very persistently.
As an aside, last night his toy rat, Ratatouille, NEEDED a wash. I persuaded little bear to part with it for long enough to get it washed and he did not have it for bedtime. A little later we heard little bear over the monitor, apparently explaining to a pandy - 'Ratatouille, washing machine'. He missed his large rat.
So, we have a broken, temporarily more or less holding together set of Bob the Builder ear protectors and a distraught little bear. I remember seeing some in Makro, included in a lot of other toys in a set. I don't care about the other toys, just as long as I find those dratted protectors.
