river and the big teddy bear

my parents gave flower this bear the first time she came to their house. river has now sort of claimed it. it's huge, bigger than she is, and she carries it around the house. it's very cute.
one night when i put her in her crib she pointed at it on the floor. so i picked it up and put it in her crib. she immediately lied on top of it and hugged it. when i went to bed she was still like that, an hour later, so i grabbed the camera. the flash woke her up. but she was so sweet. :)



i kicked myself later because then she had a hard time falling back to sleep and ended up crying quite a bit. but it was worth it! :)
