Today was special because
we get to celebrate one of my favorite things!
Teddy Bears!
I absolutely love Teddy Bears
or am I mistaking them for gummy bears...
Hmmm.
Nevermind...
I like teddy bears,
but I love
GUMMY BEARS.
I had the two confused...
I hope there is a gummy bear day
because that one will be my FAVORITE!
Anywho,
where were we?
Teddy Bears!
Being the mom of four kids
my home holds more teddy bears than
it probably should,
but that alright,
because
those teddy bears
have helped us
survive
thunderstorms, hurricanes,
daddy deploying, mommy in the hospital,
surgeries, sickness, happy days,
nightmares, loneliness,
sadness, anger, confusion,
and doubt.
The teddy bears in our home
are not just toys,
they are friends to be cherished,
celebrated, and loved.
It was also National Ants On A Log Day,
but I didn't have celery to make the tasty treat
and I never made it to the store because
I was doing 47429374398 other things,
instead I'll enjoy the snack tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow,
what fun day awaits us?
National Swap Ideas Day...
Any idea on how to celebrate?
Let me know in the comments.
I will have to tell my kids about this. My little one has a teddy that he loves, but my older one always had a sheep, named Sheepy, the he took with him EVERYWHERE.
ReplyDeleteyay Teddy Bear day. This is something I can totally celebrate with my snuggle bear.
ReplyDeleteHmm...do you have pretzel rods? I think they look much more like logs anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a blog swap for Swap day maybe? I love Teddy Bear day, I remember both my kids have special bears when they were little and right now they are in the attic waiting to be played with again by the next generation!
ReplyDelete:) We have tons of teddy bears also. And now that you mention it, maybe I need to make some ants on a log for my son :)
ReplyDeleteAwww what a cute picture! I love teddy bears too. One toy that never goes out of style :)
ReplyDeleteAw, how sweet. I love Teddy Bears, too and I had no idea there was a National Teddy Bear Day. Great poem!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! And I love ants on a log :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids (and I!) have had so many teddy bears in our lives! I wonder if Build a Bear is jumping on this day!
ReplyDeleteNational Teddy Bear Day. Well that's a new one for me, but a fun one for a change.
ReplyDeleteI love teddy bears as well. I saw that today was National Teddy Bear day. Build a Bear even sent me a coupon. All of mine are packed up in my mothers attic. Kiddos room is so overloaded with stuffed animals. No idea where to put it all most days.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters still have some of their Teddy Bears. They can't "bear" to give them up!
ReplyDeleteTeddy bears are great, I had one while I was growing up and love it.
ReplyDeleteNational Teddy Bear Day? What a cute and cuddly holiday! My daughter still has some of the teddies she slept with when she was little.
ReplyDeleteTeddy bears are so awesome! They definitely deserve their own holiday!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture of your kids with their special buddies. Even I have my own special Teddy Bear that my husband gave me many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI love Teddy Bears. I still have my first one and so does my husband.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know it's Teddy Bear day... Cute Teddy bears you got for your kids. We got lots of Teddy bear stuff toy at home too :D
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was teddy bear day! We would have done a teddy bear tea party to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI have a teddy bear that I got when I was two years old. I'm 39 now and still sleep with him!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a love for stuffed foxes. She has a little family of 4 foxes that go everywhere we go if she'll be over night. I had no idea it was National Teddy Bear Day. Also... I love gummy bears too!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Teddy bears are beloved friends to cherish!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves puppy stuffed animals. He has a fox from ikea that he just adores too.
ReplyDeleteNow that the boys are all grown each time I see one of their old teddy bears they bring back all those great memories!
ReplyDeleteI love when we celebrate those unknown national days. Very fun! Cute kiddos
ReplyDeleteAhhh I had no idea! I may be two days late, but I'm still going to celebrate Ants on a Log Day!
ReplyDeleteAnts on a log day? Lol I've never heard of it (had to Google that one lol) So many different National holidays...I only find out of them after the fact! lol
