I just love this picture. Evie called us this evening (their morning) so still in her PJs 😂
When Laura was a brand new baby she was given a duck pretty much like this and she adored it, falling asleep with the satin ribbon between her fingers and thumb in mouth. It went everywhere with her, even to university and beyond. But when she was moving to Australia with Iain it was not welcome!!! So here it stayed, wrapped in tissue paper for safe keeping.
When Evie was born I couldn't find one for her but before Christmas...... I sewed satin ribbon on just like Laura's one and when their parcel arrived in February!!!! Evie was very happy with Quackie (2)!!!! And she does exactly what Laura did, strokes the ribbon and plays with her hair.
Tonight she was showing me Quackie and clearly happy with it 😊
Makes me smile.
Three good things
1. A good drive to Neil's place and fun at Mainly Music.
2. Days are stretching...at both ends.
3. New slippers for Neil. We need a pair for here so we took him shopping to Inverurie and found a perfect pair.
What a lovely story and a beautiful image. Funny how kids latch onto certain items for comfort and to aid sleep. Our daughter used to go to bed with a pair of her own old fluffy all-in-one jammies - which she used to rub under her nose until she fell asleep. Ah, memories.

Thank you for your lovely comments.
Laura laughed when I told her I had sewn the ribbons on, and I think the original Quackie may reach Australia after their next visit home. 😂
