His name is Teddy Bear. Cute, isn’t he? He’s the firm friend of my five-year-old son Giovanni. Giovanni selected Teddy Bear as the only fluffy toy that mattered to him from a very early age. I still remember him crawling around, dragging Teddy behind him. He’s slept with him every night for five years. Given the choice between Teddy and ice-cream, I’m pretty sure Giovanni would choose Teddy.
Except Teddy stinks! He smells like vomit and old saliva. And the problem is Giovanni doesn’t like Teddy to have a ‘bath’. The few times I’ve thrown Teddy into the washing machine with a load of whites Giovanni has sat in front of the front loader watching it like a TV, watching Teddy spin around and around and around.
I haven’t washed Teddy for a while so it’s timely that Biozet Attack Ecosmart Laundry Liquid has entered my life. It smells like the ocean and as much as I know Giovanni finds the smell of vomit and old saliva comforting, I know he’ll like the smell of the ocean just as much. Who doesn’t like to go to sleep thinking about the beach?
Giovanni is my middle child. I fell pregnant with his sister pretty quickly after him so I wasn’t able to snuggle with him as much as I would have liked. This is where Teddy fulfilled an important role and it’s the reason I haven’t tried too hard to detach Giovanni from his best friend.
We leave Teddy in the car when we go to pre-school and sometimes we even leave him at home during short trips (except Giovanni sits him up on the lounge and leave the TV on!).
