Since Eoin was a wee little boy he has had a blankee and pacifier. As he grew older he ended up calling them mouth dobby and blue dobby. Eoin has four blur dobbies. Two are older and less soft and two are newer and fuzzy. He prefers the older ones but still needs to have all four for bedtime. Eoin finds the corner of the dobby and then sticks it in his nose and flicks it out.
Mouth dobby is also a very good friend to Eoin. Initially they were used so that he wouldn't suck his bottom lip. When he was born he had such an under bite (or over bit I'm not sure which but his top jaw was bigger then his bottom) his bottom lip was behind his top gum and so he sucked it a lot. On the whole using a pacifier has helped with the lip thing but now we are left with the pacifier in the mouth all the time issue.
On the whole he is very good and never has them when we go out of the house. However when we are home he always runs to get one. We have set the deadline of his last molar coming and then mouth dobbies are for bedtime only. And the ultimate plan is that by Christmas (just after Eoin turns 3) we will have no more mouth dobbies. Blue dobbies can stay around at bedtime for as long as he wants them!
