1 Mother 2 Another

Can't talk here - too busy putting the
last touches on B Bear's journal. It goes back to Maddie's class
today as she ends her week-long possession of B Bear, as well as
her week-long extra homework assignments. The final one: keeping a
daily journal of all of B Bear (and Maddie's) activities, with
pictures glue-sticked in to go with it. I won't even pretend that
Maddie helped me with it, except to pose for the pictures.


Maddie ends her week with B Bear having spent several days in the
spotlight amongst her fellow classmates, and extremely sad that B
Bear is leaving. She's already begging me to ask the teachers
where they got him so she can buy her own exactly like him. Giving
the whole "No two bears are exactly alike, just as no two people
are exactly alike! Isn't God amazing?" speech has had no effect.
Guess what's going on her Christmas list.


I have enjoyed having the bear around, and having Maddie see her
life through his "eyes" and seeing how much fun she has. B Bear,
I'll miss you, kid.


The homework thing, not so much.
