I regret to announce that Isaac's beloved Bear is missing. Isaac had him with him as we were running errands yesterday. The last time I saw Bear was when we were at the library. Without going into details our short trip to the library was VERY chaotic to say the least. We didn't even realize Bear was gone until bedtime. Gabe and I did our usual search when Bear goes missing. He was no where to be found. I wasn't sure how Isaac would react. This would be the first night in his entire life that he has not slept with Bear. As Isaac usually does he surprised me and was not upset at all. His words, "That's okay Mommy, I will just sleep with Henry and Button Bear" (2 of his other cuddle friends - but have never before equaled Bear) We were the first ones at the library this morning. I had the workers looking, but nothing -- no Bear. I was heartbroken. Bear is very special to us and has been with Isaac since he was born. I know it is silly to be sad over a stuffed bear, but for those of you that know me well enough know that I am very sentimental. When I delivered the news to Isaac that Bear was most likely gone and not coming back he said, "That is okay. Maybe some other little boy needed him to cuddle with". Where does he get this wisdom at only 3 1/2 years old?! I asked Isaac if he thought he just didn't need a cuddle buddy anymore. His answer was "No, I will just save up my money to get a new one"! Isaac and I prayed that God would watch over and protect Bear wherever he is.

That is the saddest thing I ever read! It brought tears to my eyes. I am sitting her crying over Isaac's lost Bear. How sweet Isaac is to be thinking of another little boy. You are raising such a special boy. I would be heartbroken too.
