Arram and his bear

Arram never took to using a pacifier (much to our chagrin on his, um, LOUDER days).  But he has developed a very strong attachment for a lovey.  It's a floppy little brown bear and it's his pal.

His bear comforts him when he's sad.

 

But I don't want to go to bed!  I'm not tired at all, honest!  OK, I'll just chew on my bear till I feel better.

And it helps him to sleep.  He grabs it, rolls over, pulls it close, and drifts off with a sigh.  He sleeps most nights with it in his arms.
