A tale of two bears

Evie has a much-loved bear that we call jingle beary. It is a satiny blanket on one side, and a soft fuzzy bear on the other. Since she is a "petter" and she likes to have soft things to rub while she falls asleep, jingle beary and her new bunny that Emily gave her are just perfect.

We were planning on sending a care package to Evie in China after we got our travel approval. We figured that it would get there a couple weeks before us, and she would remember us a little better that way. (if that makes sense) Well, since we had to leave so fast, no care package was sent. We had gotten two of these bears, one to send in the package, and one to take with us, so maybe she would recognize it.

We took one bear with us, and she loved it immediately. We took it everywhere with us. It is well-loved. I found the other, unused bear the other day. Just look at the difference between the two!










If you couldn't tell, the bear on the left is the one Evie has been loving for a month and two days!
