Passing the Torch

Growing up I was a big fan of Win.nie the Po.oh, as a result, I had every single stuffed animal character in the story, including numerous Po.oh bears. They are the select few stuffed animals I didn't put in storage. This past weekend, I officially handed the collection over to Baby Bean.


This little Ro.o actually belonged to my older brother, but somehow got mixed in with my collection. I don't think he will miss it. On top of which, it is Baby Bean's favorite out of the collection. She smiles and giggles at him and loves it when he "bounces" and goes, "Boing! Boing! Boing!"


At church on Sunday we ended up sitting next to a woman with a banana yellow purse that Baby Bean kept trying to grab, so I figured she would like to play with Ra.bbit. I looks like she is enjoying him to me.


I love this picture because we had been sitting on the floor playing when Baby Bean's daddy got home. This is the smile with which she presented him upon his telling her hello. I felt so lucky I had my camera in hand and caught this special smile.


This is the smile I got after she smiled at her daddy. She was so happy he was home. She is definitely a daddy's girl, which is just fine with me because I too, am a daddy's girl.
