For the Love of a Bear . . .

I have been slowly cleaning things out in my parents house. I came across a child's lamp that had a stuffed Teddy Bear as the base. My brother gave it to me when I was about 27 and I never used it. It had never come out of the box.

I thought that my brother's youngest grandson, who is 2 yrs old, might like it.

I took it over yesterday and while his mother was setting it up he curled up under the covers in his bed with a huge grin on his face. He lay there admiring it atop his dresser which was also a hand-me-down from Gma's house.

Today, I asked my niece if he was still happy with his lamp. She said that before he left the house this morning he rubbed the bear as he sadly told it good-bye!

I'm pretty sure he likes it!
