Buddy bear

We drove down to Stratford yesterday afternoon on an unusual quest. We heard about a Teddy Bear Shop close to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and thought that we would like to choose one teddy (out of the many we are told we will end up accumulating) that will be for our little tyke, from us. A unique teddy. A cute teddy. This soft and sorry bear quickly grew on us until it became the obvious choice. Meet "Buddy". We're keeping him in our bed for now so that it smells comfortingly (or disturbingly) like us when it comes time to stick him in the crib.
