      Dd’s little bolster is 19 yrs old! Anybody can beat her?

      My baby bolster is still around!! Can’t tell you all how old the bolster is now 😆 but it has been with me since birth.

      My beloved grandma made it for me. Very funny, everyone’s bolster should be round at both ends but mine has 3 sharp corners. Probably for me to suckle. 😂

      Our too leh. Grandma sews them for us out of leftover materials that she used for sewing our clothes. Our bolsters have 3 peaks as well. Think that was the trend then? But we don't suckle we niap the corners. 😂

      I still have the blankets that granma sewed for me when I was a young. My kids used them when they were younger. It's now in one of my cupboards. Who knows, when kiddos have their own kids they might use these blankets for their kids too.[/quote]Ahh... Now I know, maybe hor, could be a fashion back then. Chey, I thought mine was unique as my grandma likes to tease me, my bolster has “nei nei pok” because it has 3 peaks at both ends. :lol:

      @StarL, pls help your DD to preserve her 19yo BB bolster. I regretted not doing it for my girls. As we age, such stuff do bring back fond childhood memories or help us remember someone special.

        Yes, I recalled letters delivered the next working day.

        Now some letters seem to take a week or two to arrive ...
        The recent case of the \"mail in the trashcan\" makes me wonder... maybe we have to check the bin for our latest news? 😂

                I remember when grandma was still around, we do remove the stuffing, wash the case and re-stuff it with new cotton stuffing. All our clothes, pillows, bolsters, blankets were made with love by grandma.

                    There will be days when they really drive us nuts.


                    Just few days back, I ripped into DD at 11+pm as she was giving me attitude.

                    Next day, not only DD was on her best behaviour, DS as well. 😂

Guess solution is I need to get into action, my fault also as they still young…cannot just tell them go study.


                        You are so right Funz, the younger one will get the msg and be more auto…get into car only tell me, mommy, I didn’t get all correct etc…the elder one, everything say ok but in fact not ok.
