A little Bear for a Baby

My nephew Davidson and his sweet wife Andrea are expecting their first child a little boy in March.  While shopping I found a delightful little boy bear and could not resist buying it for the soon to be cherish child.  I decided that maybe I should write a story to go along with this whimsical bear.

Little Bear was in need of a little boy to play with. He was lost in a pile of stuffed toys in a great big store, and even though he had other toys all around him he felt all alone. " I know," he thought," that I am supposed to have a very special little boy in my life.  But where can I find him and how will I know if he is the right boy for me?"  The old stuffed camel in the pile next to him replied, "Don't worry, you will know, your heart will tell you.  When you see your boy,  you will feel your heart swell with love and that will be the boy for you.  In the mean time you will just haft to wait."  Just then a lady reached out and picked up the little bear.  "Oh, isn't he cute!" she said. "He has on farmer jeans and looks like he should belong to a little boy."  She carried he away from the pile of other toys and the old stuffed camel.  "Bye," said the camel, "It looks like your adventure has just begun.  I hope that you find your little boy soon."

The lady bought the little bear and took him out to her car, stuffed into a shopping bag with other things, but no other toys.  Little bear managed to peek out of the bag a saw that the car was moving. "Oh," he thought, " I do hope that I will be able to find my boy."  The kind lady took bear home and told him that she had plans for him, but he had to wait and be patient.  There was a very special little boy that was going to need a special bear to hug and love.  "I will make sure that you get to this little boy, but first we have to wait for him to be born, and you have to take a long trip from Virginia to Colorado where he will be born.  You see bear he will be a tiny baby and you must watch over him and take care of him until you can play together.  I will write and tell his parents that you will be his friend and to make sure that you have a place in his room where you can watch over him."

Little bear was so excited he was going to have a boy as his best friend.  The nice lady made a comfy box up all lined with soft cushiony paper as a bed for bear.  She then wrote a note for him to take with him to his new home where he would wait for the arrival of his boy.

The lady tucked little bear into his comfy box bed.  "This is the first part of your journey," she said as she taped the box.  She picked up the box and took it to the post office and then the journey really began.  It was a long trip and a little scary for the bear being in that box, but he knew that he was now really on his way to his boy and his heart began to swell just a little.  It seemed like forever before he heard the box being opened and two grown people took him out of the box and into a room where they said he could wait for the new baby.  after a little wait the mother and father brought the baby home and when bear saw his baby his heart began to swell until he thought that it could not get any bigger for there in their arms was his boy.
