~Angelina Teddy Bear~

Earlier this week, Karleigh Mei came home with a note from her teacher saying that she needed to bring a teddy bear to school on Thursday. If the child didn't have a teddy BEAR, then they could borrow one, but it HAD to be a teddy bear. 

The problem was, was that Karleigh Mei did not have a teddy bear. Nor did anyone else in our house have one. And when you are 5 years old and everyone brings their favorite teddy bear to school, who wants to bring a BORROWED teddy bear??!!

Karleigh Mei has never been that in to stuffed animals, and so it's never been a big deal. And it really wasn't a big deal and we really could have borrowed one. BUT...how fun would it be to go on a DATE night with mama and big sis Lex and go to Bui*ld A Bea*r and get a teddy bear that will be yours forever and ever!!!
And so off we went on a mission to get the best teddy bear! 

Karleigh Mei's requirements:
1. Teddy has to be pink.
2. Teddy has to be smiling
3. Teddy has to have a ballerina dress.
4. Teddy can't bite. 

The bonus in her teddy is that she has a heart shaped nose {like someone I know used to have-sniff, sniff} and heart shaped tummy AND she has pretty eyelashes! And she's the nicest teddy bear around!

Karleigh Mei loves her Teddy Bear. Sometimes she calls her Angelina and sometimes it's just "Teddy Bear". The best part is that Angelina Teddy Bear just likes to be loved on!

Angelina Teddy Bear will be the best teddy bear to tell funny jokes to and sweet secrets! 

We are so happy to have had to make a quick run and to get Angelina Teddy Bear. And Angelina Teddy Bear is sooooooooo happy that Karleigh Mei chose her out of all the other bears!

As much as I always said we'd avoid Build-a-Bear (too expensive for my taste), we sure enjoyed visiting on someone else's dime when the kids were given bears for Christmas.
Karleigh Mei looks pleased as punch with her new lovey!
