Berkeley's Pillow
My mom made Berkeley a pillowcase and a matching baby quilt for his birth. For whatever reason, the baby quilt didn't become Berkeley's security blanket. However, Berkeley has formed a very strong attachment to his pillow (see picture). He doesn't take it everywhere, but he must have it when he goes to sleep or he will become quite stressed. We found that out the hard way on a family vacation when we left his pillowcase at home.

Almost a month ago, Berkeley had an event which made it necessary to unexpectedly wash his pillow and cause it to become unavailable for bedtime. In fact, if I recall correctly, he may have been without it for two straight nights. He had to use his backup pillowcase (my mom actually made him two pillowcases, one that he has had since birth which matches the nursery... and one she made when Berkeley was about 1½ years old that matches the color scheme of his current room). We told him he couldn't use his favorite pillowcase because, well, he "got poo on the pillowcase".

He's had his pillowcase back for some time now, 3 weeks probably. But tonight while I was putting Berkeley down for the night...

"My pillow!" Berkeley exclaimed, falling down into bed with his head hitting the pillow squarely.
"Yes, it's your pillow... right where you left it." I said.
"There's no poo on it. Poo is all gone.", he observed.

I thought this was somewhat humorous since it has been some time since the event in question occurred. But not having his pillow for the night (or two) after he soiled it, must have been a significant event in his eys. It's funny how the little things to one person, seems so big to someone else.
