Putting away childish things.

Re the Teddy Bear.

I have just heard from my son who is coming to visit us on Monday. He has bought 'Ollie Bear' from the Early Learning Centre (we have a granddaughter called Ollie-Olivia which is a coincidence) and needs to take it out of its packing to fit in his carry on luggage. I told him to stuff it down his trousers and if challenged at the security gate to tell them he is Skippy the Bush kangaroo. I think I'm loosing the plot.

Aw that's nice Ollie Bear, I like your sense of humour I am not sure the airport staff would though ,
I hope he gets it there and am sure your wife will love it,
It is for your wife is it ?

The arrival of Ollie Bear.

Ollie bear (http://www.elc.co.uk/Learn-to-Dress-Ollie/134249,default,pd.html ) arrived last night and was an immediate hit with his new mum. She didn't discover all his technical attributes but loved him for what he was, a cuddly bear. They went off to bed together and both had a good night's sleep. This morning Ollie's zip has been up and down more times than a fiddler's elbow, his hood has been on and off countless times and his little shoe lace has about 50 knots. The velcro strip and button up bag is still to be discovered. All in all a very successful present - what more can we ask?
