Allies to the Cause

I’d like to take some time to introduce you all to some of the allies to the cause around the Taylor household. The cause of course being “Itsuki and Graham being able to relax”. This is most often accomplished when Fuzuki is happy, satisfied, asleep, confused, or eating. The opposite of any of these states is a crying, moaning, whining, dinosaur (no bigger than a dog) that beckons (especially during our dinner) to be held.

I’m going to introduce these allies as the Top 5 allies of the month.

#5 Weapon X

Recently purchased Weapon X (as I like to call it, not because it’s actually dangerous) has climbed up into the top 5 within a couple of days. This is actually heart shaped but very easy to hold onto. Fuzuki likes to swing it round in his right hand, using giant arm motions. Because of its medium size, and the velocity of his swinging attacks I have given it the name Weapon X

#4 Flower Power

Popular amongst all children (I say this because whenever his is around another baby, they always try and steal it from him) this flower shaped toy has 3 semi hard plastic petals that fit perfectly into Fuzuki’s mouth soothing (or pacifying) his temper and the sounds that come with.

#3 Spring Dog

Spring dog has so many parts to him, so that even when Fuzuki has finished sucking on his nose and ears, there is still a butterfly and a bone to get around to. And when his is done there, he can usually start over again with the nose and ears.

#2 Quack Quack Bathtime Book

Not only can you read this book, you can also eat it, bend it, and hit yourself with it without harming yourself. Although it does require my storytelling voice and my hands to successfully turn the pages, one reading of this book will usually stun (with amazement and interest) Fuzuki out of any whining/crying session he has planned (especially upon coming out of the bath.)

#1 The white duck!

This magical stuffed animal/music box currently has Fuzuki completely under its control. Like a Jedi mind trick or something, just pull the cord, let the music play, and he is completely silent, just staring at it.
