BEARS!!!!

Owen has been very attached to his bear. He received it as a gift when he was first born and hasn't slept without it for 6 months.

Needless to say, it was becoming quite gross. Not to mention indispensable for getting Owen to sleep. It has become the new third parent!

Our plan was to purchase a second "My First Teddy Bear" and place it in a rotation with the original "My First Teddy Bear". Owen would never know and he would have clean bears to hug and cuddle with (as well as throw against the wall, bite and sit on).

As day care started, Owen was having trouble sleeping and the new bear became the "Day Care Bear", leaving the original bear to hold down the fort at home.

Owen found the second bear. It's really too bad his parents can't hide anything from him.
