A bear to remember

Lovely day with Grace. We went to the Mother and Toddler group in the village this morning, and in the afternoon I caught up with one of my colleagues over tea in Pebbles, the village art cafe. Work is so hectic that my colleagues and I barely get a chance for a proper chat. Pebbles has work by lots of different arts- and craftspeople. One such piece for sale was this E N O R M O U S teddy bear. Grace instantly fell in love with him and kept going for cuddles. Grace is teething (as you can see from the bright red cheeks and her constant thumb-sucking) her incisors are coming through. She's being very brave and is obviously in a lot of pain at times, despite doses of Calpol.
