Pidda.
That's Jackanese for Pillow.
Jack is one of those kids who wants nothing in the bed with him when it's time for Night-Night. No toys, stuffed animals, books, blankets or pillows. Just Jack, a mattress and a sheet thank you very much. We have always tried covering him up with his blankie before leaving the room and he would have it off and tossed to the floor before we could even make it to the door. So, we must wait until he's asleep to cover him up, but I always find his blankie on the floor every morning anyway.
Phillip has really been wanting Jack to sleep with a pillow lately. It has sort of become his mission. As Jack's parents, we know that he would be infinitely more comfortable with a snuggly pillow underneath his head - but how do you explain that to a two year old who makes a game of throwing everything out of the bed?
Well, last night, Phillip - with patience and persistence - somehow found a way. I heard him in Jack's room explaining how he was supposed to put it under his head and I think there was even a small demonstration that accompanied the explanation. All I know is that Jack went to sleep on his Pillow for the very first time (it has still not been tossed out), and this morning he told his Mimi over the phone that there was a "Pidda" in his bed.
What a sweetheart. He is growing up so fast.

Hey -- Em's diaper bag matches Jack's balnket. Coincidence? I think not. It must be written in the toile for them to be together!! :o)
On another note, Em has a "Little Princess" pillow that she occasionally brings to me. She puts it up to her ear and leans over, then sits down and eventually lays over on it. This is my cue to put her in her crib. Very cute!
