Dean's Cord

So Kaci had has "Blanky and Beary".  Where ever she goes, they go.  Oh and if they don't...well, you really don't want to find out what happens.  Take it from me.  And as you can imagine, her entourage is pretty ratty, especially Beary.  He has already been stitched up a couple of times and what used to be beautiful pale pink fur is now pretty grungy.  

Kaci and Blanky

As for Dean, well he has an extension cord.  Yeah - a small brown extension cord is his comfort item.  I don't even really know where he found it...obviously digging through cupboards and drawers he was not supposed to be in.  

Each night I try to pick up the living room once the kids are in bed (why bother right?).  And each night I put Dean's little cord in a drawer in one of the coffee tables.  It has now become part of his morning routine (early morning routine, so very early) after his morning bottle, to race over to that drawer and grab his cord.  It really is cute, as he gets so excited each time he finds it in the drawer.

A boy and his cord

What isn't so cute though is that this isn't the only cord the boy is fond of.  Actually any cord will do.  The cord to his changing table lamp?  Addictive!  The cords behind TV, DVR and blue ray player?  Irresistible.  Oh and don't forget the cord to that hot flat iron that you may use daily...no, one must NEVER forget about that one.  

Also remember that what may have been deemed "out of reach" for Kaci, does not automatically mean it is for Dean.  He is a stacker and a climber.  

I "mustache" you to drop that cord Dean!

To Dean, nothing beats a plain old cord.  Oh wait...except a cord wrapped around a Christmas tree with bright lights!

Dean No.  No Dean.  Deanie no no.  NO TOUCH DEAN!
