Tom goes to work

The eldest has 'Tom' (imagintive name..).  Tom goes to most, but not all places with him.  The husband bought him in J'burg airport before the eldest was born, so I live in fear of Tom going missing as he's kind of irreplacable. 

Today, Tom came to work with me.  He has been going to school with the eldest every day, safely put in his book bag when we get to breakfast club.  But this morning, the eldest said he wanted Tom to come with me to the office.  I weirdly couldn't leave Tom in the cold car all day, so he has been sat in my bag, and I kind of liked it.
