I read this months edition of Parenting Magazine and saw the best toys for the season. One toy that caught my eye was a new teddy bear. I saw this teddy bear at costco when JNP and I went shopping the other day. It was a good price and I showed it to him. He didn’t seem too interested, of course a truck with sounds was keeping his attention at the moment. So I put it back on the shelf and continued on. Half way home in the car, out of nowhere, he says, “I want that bear!”
“What?” “Which bear?” I said. He said, “The one at Costco.”
For some reason I started to tear up. Not sure if it was the fact that he wanted the same toy I wanted….YIPPEE! Or the fact that all of a sudden he is able to really verbalize his desires even after a period of time had passed. Needless to say I was taken back by all this and told CJP when I got home.
CJP went back to the store after J was in bed and got the Brown Bear. I was so excited I opened it right away to put in the batteries. When JNP awoke the next morning, we gave it to him. He was very happy. He took in in the car on the way to school and back.
This morning he said, I LOVE THIS BEAR! Can you believe it? Those are the words that came out of his mouth. I guess my goal of getting a toy for his nurturing side was a success. Take a look at the toy here. Toy Bear I will keep you posted on the love affair.
