Long Time Companion

Ryan and his 'pao pei'. Inseparable.

It will be his companion on holidays, short breaks..even stays at hospitals would be incomplete without his pao pei.

His 'best' friend has been with him since the day he was brought back from hospital as a newborn to this very day. That would mean...his smelly shapeless lump of a pao pei is already 5 years and more!

Oh gosh. I dare not imagine how big the population of mites is happily calling it home at this moment.I do sun and wash it once a week. But with each wash, it is getting smaller and lumpier each time.

At first, he had 2 'pao pei' buddies. They came in a pair.But one year ago, I threw one away... I couldn't tahan anymore. The condition was real bad and all the cotton was broken up inside. Now, just to wait how much longer this last remaining one will persevere on.

What I dislike most is that Ryan would take his pao pei everywhere around the house and sometimes put it to our faces...and constantly asks this question..."Do you want my pao pei?" despite our protests.

Does your child have a comfort toy or pillow that she/he is very attached to all this years?

Well, it's a very special relationship. I had mine till 18 then my mum chucked it out when I was in uni! How sneaky!

Haha just like Vic and her Heh Heh, it has been with her since she was a baby, and now i don't, or more like I can't wash her doll anymore coz it is so fragile, the next wash and it's a goner. She sleeps with it, puts it on her face and inhales from it like drug addict, so geli. Admittedly when I was a child I used to have a Furry and a Teddie until I went to college and mom threw it away secretly. Hmpk.

Heh I had my smelly bolster till a few years ago when my parents moved to KL!

Ryan just enjoys the attention he gets when 'pao pei' is thrust into people's faces...

hahahaha! I can see that "pao pei" has definitely lost a lot of weight now that it is already 5 years old! My friend has a son who is 10 and he's still very attached to it till now. *am not trying to scare you* hehe.

The pao pei 'seasoned' liao. My girl doesnt have a pao pei. She sometimes will ask for her napkin (she likes to hold the label, weird one) and that was it. Sometimes she can be without it. So don't consider it a pao pei. As for my boy we try to encourage him having a pao pei (same bolster as Ryan's) but he macam not keen too. My kids are so strange :-)
