Bear Friends

Charlotte's into a lot of things that never really interested Emily. She likes broccoli - green beans - peas. And bears. She loves bears. It started with these vintage teddy bears that Matt and I saved from our childhoods. (Not sure they can really be considered "vintage" at 30 years old, but that sounds like an awfully long time to me...) They've been living on a nursery room shelf since Emily was born, and she never paid them the slightest bit of attention.

But Charlotte loves them. She longs for them. When we get her up from a nap, she reaches out and whines for them. She points and grunts and lunges for them. And when we give in and bring her one, that is not enough. Oh no, that is not enough. She wants them ALL.

To honor her obsession, we've decided she'll be a teddy bear for Halloween this year - since she didn't have much say in what she was last year :)

Here are a few pics from a while back, when she got to play with her friends for a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

At one point she decided to exile them all : : : and then remorse set in.

 

Reunited - and it feels so good!
