Should I be worried?
Acupuncture or torture? I'm not sure! But I found Yousuf's teddy bear pierced with toothpicks!

Raising Yousuf and Noor: diary of a Palestinian mother
I am a Palestinian from Gaza. I am a journalist. I am a mother. I am a Muslim. This blog is about the trials of raising my children between spaces and identities; displacement and occupation; and everything that entails from potty training to border crossings. My husband is a Palestinian refugee denied his right of return to Palestine, and thus OUR right to family life. Together, we endure a lot, and the personal becomes political. This is our story.
About Me
- Name: Laila
- Location: somewhere between the seas, Gaza Strip, Palestine
Journalist, mom, occupied Palestinian-all packed into one.

Have you considered that they might be decorative piercings? Maybe a nipple piercing and a combination nose/eyebrow ring?
LOL
I don't think you should worry. But maybe it is a good Idea to ask him what he thinks he was doing, and why. At least to understand if he meant it as a torture or simply was trying to see if those toothpicks can pierce the teddy bear, or if they will stick or fall off...
hehe- yes the first time i asked him he said he was giving him "spikes" like the ones that porcupine has as a "protection"..
the second time he just said "no reason, just felt like it" and then mentioned how the toothpick went all the way through.
so maybe a science experiment ?
Laila, he's 3 years old, and he's male. He's going to be doing lots of things that neither one of you can explain until- well, Judgment Day. :D
Noor, insha'Allah, will make a bit more sense- being a girl, and all.
