25 cents well spent!

These pictures tell a cute little story about a bear. I wish I had taken a video of this! My mom and I found this bear at a yard sale for only 25 cents. When you push on his back, he moves his arms and nose and makes little noises. He is really cute. Savannah had never really been interested in teddy bears, so I had actually gotten him for Gavin's room. Gavin warmed up to the bear right away and watched him intently for quite awhile. He even held his paw for a long time too. Savannah gave us one of her infamous faces of surprise when whe saw him move and make noise. She grabbed her favorite baby doll saying, "Look baby, see, see it, look!", as she held the baby out to see the bear moving. It took her almost 45 minutes to actually go over and touch him though! She kept watching from a safe distance with wide eyes and her funny surprised faces. Eventually we talked her into touching his back. When you touch his back he gets started again. If he is not touched for a while, he goes to sleep and starts snoring! After she touched his back (quickly as if it was hot), she slowy began to warm up to him and then they became great friends! As you can see from the pictures, she packed him all around the house hugging him, rocking him, reading to him, sitting him at the table, and of course talking to him. She even tried to give him a lick which resulted in fuzz in the mouth! Yuck! Needless to say, this was 25 cents well spent!
