Both of my boys have ‘special’ teddy bears that they take everywhere with them from a specialist teddy bear shop. And I do mean more or less everywhere. I had one as a child, and I know some people (ahem, preschool) don’t agree with a child having something that they are so attached to, but I really do. I love that the boys find security in their teddy bears when I’m not there, and I love that they feel a companionship to these bears, even if they are inanimate and ‘not real’.
So, I have been trying to decide what exactly to get for this little girl who is currently doing a jig on my cervix at every opportunity!
I have always been a fan of Hazel Village and their beautiful village animals (you can read about them on the blog here) but I never really realised how hard I was going to find narrowing down from such a wonderful selection! I have decided upon 3 of their village friends and I think I may just order them all and let baby choose which one she wants to be her ‘special’ friend.
So, what do you think, do you have any advice for me? Which teddy to choose? Who would you have for your daughter or son?
