What reminds you of being little?

What things out in the world remind you that you’re an AB. What does your mommy/daddy/caretaker do that shows or reminds you that you’re precious, special and little. Do you do anything; little (or big) hints, reminders or insider info that makes you think: I want teddy or paci etc.

I always keep something small in my pocket as a reminder so that if I’m feeling sad, I can be a bit happier until I can hug someone.

my mummy always carries my little ellie sucky blanket and a dummy in a cover, they never come out in public, but I know they are there If i need them or he has to take me into a disabled bathroom for a change. Other things, her strokinh my hair, patting my nappied bottom turns me into a little on the spot. She can usually read my mood and age and acts accordingly.

Out in the world? When we go to stores and I see a toy that I like I’m instantly a kid. Or chocolate milk, really kids food of any sort. Going to the zoo or an amusement park will do it.

My husband isn’t a caregiver but he does buy me little surprises and happy meals. He buys me kids things (mostly things I had or wanted as a child) for christmas and we have each given each other kids birthday parties, his was Ducktales and mine was Wuzzles.

I spend most of my time as a little so it doesn’t take much. :slight_smile:

Kinder Surprise eggs never fail to make me feel little. For those in the US who might not be familiar with them, they are a chocolate egg with a toy inside. Many of the toys are mediocre, but every once in a while, you get something really cool!

Other than that, favourite childhood cartoons will often get me there. These include many of Disney’s feature film, as well as a few Max Fleischer shorts that my parents used to own on VHS (notable ones include Christmas Comes But Once a Year, and Small Fry)

If I had my Lego, they would probably make me feel little. Unfortunately, I gave those away when I was a teenager — d’oh!

The fences on my crib are a big clue:joy::joy:. But I would have to say mostly that if I get out of line and try to be an adult, Mommy putting me in my place is a good reminder. Nothing like getting a spank on the balls to let you know she’s the Mommy and you’re the baby.

All I need if for my daddy to hold me. Even if it’s just my hand, it is an instant reminder that I’m his little baby:slight_smile: I also have a stuffie And a doll, I usually have one or the other at all times

Tbh, I have been sleeping with my blanket since I was a child. 19 now and still sleeping with a blanket at home. Yep…

There’s a lot of things but I guess when my Mommy kinda fusses over me? I love being dressed and undressed without any say about it, which feels exactly what it was like as a kid.

Basically any kind of gentle domination / invasion of my personal space, with the assumption that I have no say in what’s happening makes me feel really little - it’s also incredibly hot and pushes all my buttons :drooling_face:

I guess also sleeping with a teddy, being asked if I’m wet and being checked anyway because I’m to embarrassed to say :open_mouth:

I love having cute things that are "practical’

like cute pens, pencils, stickers in my planner, and if i can have any opportunity to chose the “kid” version of something YOU CAN BET I WILL <3

I love it when my daddy makes me a bobo (chocolate milk in my bottle) that makes me so happy <3
