Bear Bear Light

When Mama reads books on helping me sleep better, she often comes across the idea of having a night light in my room as I may be afraid of the dark but she has often brushed the idea aside as the light from the corridor opposite our block will enter my room through the window and brighten up the room such that it's not pitch dark at night. Even when I always tell her to "open light" when we enter my room for bedtime did not change her mind.

Recently, Mama read about sleep-training me again and she pieced together the idea that perhaps the reason I am always asking to turn on the light is that I may really need a night light afterall.

So one day, after school, she brought me to Lot 1 to buy a small night light. There was only 1 shop that sold night light and there were not many choices. In the end, we settled for this one. It was days after having it that Mama remembered to ask me to name my light. My answer : Bear Bear Light.

From then on, we often turn on the Bear Bear light when it's time for me to go to bed. I will sleep with Bear Bear Light switched on and near to me. Mama will switch it off after I have fallen asleep.

It serves as a good enticement too when my parents want me to go home so that Mama can put me to bed earlier. Mama just need to remind me that Bear Bear Light is waiting for me at home and I will make my way home though she only used it a couple of times and still does not know if this enticement is fail-proof... :)
