Objects of Obsession

Baron was weened from his final night time bottle about 2 months age. I was surprised at how easy it was. Just as fast as my "yeah us!" confidence built up, it was quickly diminished when Baron started missing the beloved "ba-ba." He decided to replace it (on his own). He now has a new obsession or should I say obsessions which include:

• The Cat in the Hat stuffed animal referred to as "Hat"
• A stuffed animal dog
• His blanket (known around here as "Ga-key")
• A small blanket for "Hat" (aka Hat's Ga-key)
• His "Pa-see-see"

The other day I went in to get him out of the crib after nap and he was holding everything. He doesn't want these objects to leave his sight. Perhaps out of fear that they will disapear like the bottle. He must know that my next plan is to banish the "Pa-see-see."
