Lions and Tigers and Bears!

Oh my!

So, on this cold, snowy day, I organized for a bear to come to my house to do some pictures with Toby. Someone on a local mommy-site had rented a teddy bear costume and had it for a few extra days so she advertised that she was willing to take pictures with some kids if anyone wanted.

Being a total soccer mom, I jumped at the chance to expose Toby to another "character" hoping to help him curb his irrational fear of the Easter Bunny. I mean, how could someone be scared of a larger than life-sized mute rabbit who stares blankly at with you dead eyes, and holds you with ginormous hands!? Sounds totally legit, right?

I spoke to the person and organized a time for our photo-op. She was going to come to my house and I had some cute picture ideas.

Sadly, on this stormy, icy and blustery day, our bear got in a car accident. What?! No bear?! I had promised my son a bear! I would be lying if I said I wasn't devastated.

Hold the press. Before I come off as a "totally insensitive, overly-eager, my kid will have everything in this world type of mommy-monger," the bear is fine.

It is really important to me that my kid doesn't get disappointed when things don't go his way so while I was crushed and dying on the inside, we had our own little bear photo shoot and he was none the wiser (and a mighty cute bear if I do say so myself!)
 









Roar!
