Today Theo told me that his bears cry a lot. I then started to engage him on 'why' his teddy bears cry a lot. He was very much into the seriousness of the conversation. There was absolutely no joking or 'make believe' on his part.
Seeing that we were having a very serious conversation Jack decided to join as well. Jack said that his bears cry a lot too. He said that, 'when his bears have to get jabs (shots for the Americans reading) that he knows that they get really anxious so he doesn't like to talk about jabs too early because they will start to cry. So instead he just waits until the day and time that they are suppose to have the jabs and then brings up the subject'. All very mature (and incredibly seious tone) for a five year old. I wonder where he got this idea???
Then Theo piped up and said that his bears mainly cry when they fall off the top of the bunk bed. He reassured us though by telling us that 'he comforts them'.

How very sweet on both their parts! That's interesting that either one of them would say their bears cry, but I'm glad they have solutions for both of them.
Sweet story. We now know how Jack feels about shots and Theo about falling off the bunk bed.
I think comforting for bears and little boys is very important. (and they obviously think so too)It's nice they know comforting is the cure for tears for bears. Well done.
