The blob meets the family






Dear Yvonne

This is how the people I live with first engaged with the blob.

My partner, P, held it in his arms rather like a large baby. The blob you asked me to look after is sort of baby-sized, taller than a toddler but lighter in weight. One of the first things he did was rock it like a baby and he did this quite deliberately in front of our 21-month old daughter, as a provocation.

I think it was me who then put the blob in her small chair.

M seemed to think the blob was for her to play with. M played with some blocks around the blob. She also liked jumping on it which she does with pillows at the moment quite often.

P referred to it as a "baby" and she copied this naming convention. I call it the blob.

Later, P put the blob in M's cot and told it to go to sleep although it was the morning. She watched as he offered it some milk but then wandered off. Later we moved it so that she could go to sleep.

I noticed it matches our furniture quite well.
