Gabriel has this "Teddy" that he is so attached to. I love watching him with it. When he's eating, he asks his teddy if it wants a bite, or a drink, or even if he wants to get under the covers with him. He is very good to his teddy. (Then at other times he'll bite it and throw it around) It's funny.
This morning has been a hard one for me. I'm not going to go into any details other than I've just felt torn and alone. I have a doctors appointment in about an hour and a half, so we're just killing time watching "Little Einsteins" and blogging. :) Anyway, Gabriel had his teddy and was talking to it asking if it wanted mommy. I looked over at him and he handed me teddy. When he does this, I'll give teddy a hug or a kiss and then give it back. I almost didn't let go this time. Call me a little girl or whatever. But it was so comforting holding this teddy. I've decided that I don't think I'll "make" Gabriel give it up (like you would a bottle or pacifier) or make him leave it at home when we go out. There's just something about a teddy that's soothing.

my parents did do that with me and my "pinky" (pound puppy). I think it's good for kids sometimes. he'll eventually give up teddy when he's older but it's cute for now. I can't wait to see you!!
One of my hobbies is making teddy bears. I was taught how by my home teacher. He gave me a pattern and enough materials to make my first one. To date, I have made over a hundred of them. Each of my grandchildren has one of my Teddy Bears. My wife has several of them. One was made from a mink coat that once belonged to a famous actress. Most of my teddy bears have been placed with counselors who work with children. Teddy bears can help children work through tramatic experiences. I think there is something invaluable about having something warm and soft to hang on to.
