For me it was a blanket that I literally loved to shreds...for Brody it is this blue chenille bear. He loves this bear so much. Grandma Shirley gave this bear to Brody before he was born. She got it at a little boutique in New Port Beach, CA and gave it to us when we were there in June 2008. Here he is all brand new. He has the softest most cuddly fur ever and he started off as a decoration in the crib. Matt and I started putting him in the crib with Brody when he was about 5 or 6 months old, and then when we began laying him down for naps we gave him this bear along with his binky to comfort him.
Brody has been such a good sleeper. He goes down with out a fuss, as long as he has his bear. He reaches for it as soon as we lay him down and he cuddles with it the whole night. It is the sweetest thing.
He's been loved and it shows...
Where Brody goes...bear-bear goes
A little tattered, not as soft....but oh so loved.
His favorite part...the tag...he chews it, strokes it and carries bear-bear by it.
I'm sure he will get much more tattered than this, but there is nothing sweeter than a child's lovey! If he's anything like me, he might even take it to college with him. It will be fun to see those pictures down the road....
