Daniel laying down with Mommy's bra at bedtime. Bra is a security blanket
When Harvey was born, Daniel was cut-off from breastfeeding. He managed the change very well, and accepted that his little brother needed mommy a lot more than he did.
The last couple of nights, he has been grabbing mommy's bra at bedtime instead of climbing on me and falling asleep.
He knows where mommy wears her bra, and just yesterday he was curiously pulling down on mommy's blouse and bra when he was sitting on her lap.
I'm thinking Daniel remembers that amazing comfort of being with mommy at bedtime, and he is using her bra as a type of security blanket.
It's extremely cute and sad at the same time. I don't blame the boy for wanting the be with mommy at night and I actually missed him using me as monkey bars last night.
I'm @runridefly, and I learned a little about transitional objects and the mother-child bond this morning.
