One cherished stuffed animal, two generations of affection
If you’ve held onto your childhood teddy bear all these years, you’re in for a treat.

I must admit, I still have my own teddy bear from when I was just a year old. One eye is missing, the other is cracked, and his nose is barely hanging on. At first glance, his fur looks grey, but hidden beneath the folds of his tail nub is the snowy white he once had. Teddy resides on a high shelf in the basement because I assumed my kids would prefer the newer, flashier stuffed animals. Yet, it looks like it’s time for introductions; clearly, children have a knack for recognizing a special stuffed animal, regardless of how worn or faded it may be.
