Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew brought light-hearted entertainment to many when she shared a humorous 'tough love' lesson from her delightful 16-month-old boy, melting hearts across the nation.
Bartholomew revealed the sweet and comical antics of her son through a set of video clips on her social media account, capturing the heart-warming interactions of her youngest, Tom, with an adorable new rubbery plaything called the Calma Koala figurine.
What makes the toy even more special, you might ask? The creator of this sensory toy isn't just any toy manufacturer. The Calma Koala was dreamt up and brought to life by none other than Bartholomew's own midwife, Sue!
Well, when you've helped deliver countless lives, why not up the ante and bring joy to those little lives in more ways than one?
The first video served as a bite-sized piece of pure joy for Bartholomew's followers. Sweet little Tom was seen gently playing with his newly discovered friend in an open drawer. The moment that followed was enough to pull at anyone's heartstrings.
Bartholomew gently encouraged her son, exclaiming, 'Give him a cuddle!' What unfolded was a scene of pure perfection as little Tom adorably hugged his new best friend.
Bartholomew, unable to hide her own joy and delight, cheered on, 'Awwwwwwww! That's so nice!'
The next clip contrastingly revealed the rather hilarious rendition of 'tough love' from the child.
Tom was seen exercising the toy koala's resilience in a series of shenanigans that started with jamming the koala's head in the drawer, then giving it a solid thwack against the cupboard, and finally stuffing it inside the drawer.
The scene is enough to make anyone chuckle, and Bartholomew, clearly amused, asked, 'What are you doing with him?' Before adding humorously saying, 'Uh-oh. Goodnight, bear.'
The playful scenes no doubt had followers laughing along, celebrating the cuteness overload and innate capacity for toddlers to find fun in the simplest of acts. Bartholomew couldn't resist congratulating her midwife on creating such a 'resilient' toy!
The Calma Koala isn't just all about giggles and cuddles; it's a sensory toy. 'It's a teething, sensory, rubbery toy for babies and has become an instant favourite in our house,' shared the Sunrise star.
Young Tom, who was born in March last year, is not the only child of Edwina Bartholomew and her husband, Neil Varcoe. He is joined—and quite possibly influenced—by his spirited two-year-old big sister Molly, born in 2019.
