I don't think it really matters to be honest. Paris is at school and I know there are other kids (boys as well) who still have comfort items.

I still have to have a feather pillow in bed with me to lean into if I need to And I have a gf that has a piece of silk that she used to twiddle in her fingers as she slept. Some people read to sleep, watch tv till they fall asleep or even have that little night cap.

*hugs*
