You baby-talk to him.

    "Hewo, liddle Soupy!  You can sleep down here with me, Bwad... I won't let big bad Pammy-Whammy flush you down the mean old toilet bowl, noooooo..."

    You cradle Soupy in your arms, hugging him, and curl up for a long night's sleep.

    Gotta wake up early tomorrow and get little Soupy enrolled in pre-school!
