I have a new teddy bear.
well actually it is my first that I can remember...I had a big stufffed puppy dog growing up that I adored....
but this is my first teddy....(that I remember lol)
He is the softest thing and small about 9"...
I slept with him last night and he was such a comfort to me.
In bed this morning I just sat and stared at her and postitioned her arms and hugged her and felt her soft fur on my face and just LOVED this.
A new comfort....
I am 44 now and have a new toy...

comfort. that is what is all about. bringing back good memories. a smell can do it. a sound....touch...taste.

so..what is this teddy's name?

my first comfort toy i still have. her name is Lambie. a small silky soft stuffed lamb my brother gave me when i was born. she sits on a a little chair in my kitchen. since i spend the mosst time there. i'll have to look..i think she in a picture i took recently.

I love teddy bears and other stuffed animals.

My husband and I have a bit of a collection of stuffed animals from hospital gift shops - it started when I got sick, continued through his chemo.... and now it's a habit that anytime one of us is in the hospital we buy a cool stuffed animal.

We also collect stuffed cows. Neither of us really like cows, but the collection got started because the first stuffed animal he ever got me was a benie baby cow (we were in a store and I said it was cute, so he bought it)... so now we have a shelf of stuffed cows

I love stuffed animals and teddy bears. They are so cute and even on my worst day my husband can make me smile by bringing me one of my stuffed animals.... they are so soft and so easy to cuddle and they bring a lot of joy and happiness.

My husband knows that if he wants to do something special and suprise me - he knows to forget the flowers or chocolate and go straight for the stuffed animals

I am so glad you have a good Teddy Bizi.

The only toy that I have from my childhood is a baby doll.
Her name is Pebbles and she sits on a rocker in the guest bedroom.
Her stuffing is almost gone and she slumps over, I drew peirced ear rings on her....she is darling.

You know, some how friends of mine think I collect frogs and over the years, thanks to them....I have MANY frogs of different shapes and sizes.

I had to edit this because I lied...*grin. I have three teddy bears, given to me by my old boss. And I have a black gorilla given to me by E............
