Much loved

I've been clearing out some of the cupboards today, getting rid of the remaining baby and toddler toys ready for a car boot sale on Sunday. I found this hidden away in a cupboard. This was my eldest son's much loved Sleepy Ted. He couldn't sleep without it and took it everywhere with him, constantly rubbing it against his cheek. We bought two reserve teddies when this one was starting to get threadbare and they also were much loved and cared for (until one got lost behind the wardrobes). In the end we had to hide the last one as he got too old for a teddy.
