FEELING BLUE

MORE BLUES
More blues for Shades of Inspiration hosted by Sara of Sadie Olive


I took this photo yesterday of Riley asleep with yet another blue dummy and wearing some blue clothes

After some comments on Riley’s blue dummy in the previous post I thought I would do some research on what we all call them. Binky, pacy or dummy so long as it calms a baby you can call it whatever you like.

Check here for some information on all the different names for what we in Australia and world wide call a dummy

There was actually some blue sky amongst the clouds of yesterday

I have two of these vases. Depending on my mood sometimes I show the blue cameo side amd sometimes I turn it around and just have the pretty white pattern showing.


Closer look of the cameo


That's it from me until next week as once again I am sick this time with cold/flu.
So while I am babysitting Riley this week I will be resting on the sofa while he's asleep.
On the weekend we are having Chloe and Lachlan sleep over too.
Saturday I think I will go and watch Daniel my son play football and just sit back and relax before the kids get dropped off at 5pm.
Have a great week everyone.

Alison, I hope you feel better soon. I love the blue binky, and your baby is so gorgeous. You're having winter right? Flu and winter seem to go hand in hand. Have some tea with lemon. Blessings, Karen

Mosaic*Queen said...

You are one busy girl!!! I hope you get to feeling better soon! Your kids are lucky to have such a wonderful mother who cares for their children.........even when she's sick.
Take care Grandma!

Michelle

p.s. we're calling it a binky. :-)

Nancy said...

We call it paci now, but when we
live in B.C. everyone there called it a soother. I thought that was
highly appropriate. But you're right call it what you want, but give it to the baby when they
"need" it.

Lori said...

Alison, Hope your feeling in the "pink" soon!! Can't have both of us feeling crappy!! Love ya,Lori

Hi Alison!
We always called it a binky (bink for short.) But a woman I work with in the daycare calls it a bippie. I had never heard it called anything but a binky. But Riley is adorable no matter what you're calling it.

Love,
Julie

Aimz said...

Alison

Please feel well...it's too early in the season to be ill! Binkies are great, whatever keeps them happy...I always said, hey, they won't walk down the aisle with one when they're maried so who cares? Makes them happy today, go for it!

Michelle said...

Feel better soon!!

I adore pictures of sleeping babies~what precious gifts from God!

Natasha Burns said...

Birds of a Feather said...

Sarah and Jack said...

It's funny that everyone has a different name for those things. And it seems like every kid uses one now! I dont remember them much when I was small.

The Textile Museum in Washington DC just launched an exhibit titled Blue. I plan to visit this week. Thanks for the preview. It's been my tailgate party before the show. Thank you.

My little guys binkie was a life saver as well as a curse especially when I view the future orthadontic bills,

Sherry said...

Alison, I hope your feeling better!! You sound like your starting off your winter the same way we did ours last year. I had the flu about 5 times and so did my little Mallory. I have never been that sick in years and years. I hope that's not what is in store for you! Get plenty of rest and I hope you feel better!!!

Hugs and warm wishes,
Sherry
