Bad Boy

Your security blanket has always been the Ugly Doll, Big Toe. You just call him Ugly Doll. Whenever you are upset or nervous you want Ugly Doll. This week you've been a pretty bad boy. Both at home and at school. So last night I took him away and threw him in the garbage. He's actually in the cupboard above the fridge. I was expecting a melt down from you but it wasn't quite that bad. You were very upset and tried to leave the apartment to go and retrieve him. And you ask if you can have him every now and again. But I'm not giving him back until maybe Christmas. You've adopted your teddy bear as your new security blanket.

As a result though you've been better because when I threaten to throw away teddy bear you know I'm serious. So you get your act together a little more quickly now.

Hopefully Santa will bring a new (old) Ugly Doll.
