Meanwhile, back at the lab...

Meanwhile, back at the lab....... the mad scientist had donned her safety glasses,


buttoned up her lab coat,


and was ignoring the ethical reasons against cloning as she frantically tried to remember the secret ingredients to reproduce Bug.


As the watched pot started to overflow with legs and other buggy bits,


the almost done Bugs were delicately placed in the high-tech laboratory oven for the final stage of the cloning process.


Deemed a success, the OBVIOUSLY mad scientist celebrated her Bug-cloning success with an evil laugh.... wahahaha wahahaha


Now seriously, can you spot the difference?


I'm hoping my baby boy can't if his beloved Bug is strategically swapped due to a much needed wash or a mysterious disappearance (aka "Where the hell is his bloody Bug?")...!!!

Bug

Many kids get attached to a specific toy that becomes their favourite. For my son, it was this little toy, which he always held by a leg. But for some reason I can not explain, was also drawn to these bibs that I made. They are nothing special - just a basic bib made from a double layer of toweling because he had reflux and we needed lots and lots and lots of bibs!

Because the bibs have been vomited on and washed that many times, to describe them as ferral would be kind! I just couldn't have my boy's need for comfort fulfilled by a skanky bib. So I had to get creative and make something that would so the job.

So I combined what he loves the most from the toy and bib....

the legs....

with the toweling...

added some stretchy fleece hair...

some fluffy eyes, a nose and mouth...

a tail that can be used to tie it to the pram so it wont be lost...

and came up with what we affectionately call "Bug"....
