HAPPY NATIONAL TEDDY BEAR DAY!

HAPPY NATIONAL TEDDY BEAR DAY! 

Tiny Teddy cookies

Recently, my mom gave me a package of Tiny Teddy cookies. Apparently these are snacks popular in Australia and are similar to Teddy Graham crackers that I'm used to here in the United States. Let's open it up and see what it looks like.

This bear is holding his nose because he was stung by a bee -- ouch!

What's your favorite cookie or cracker snack?

Teddy Bear

Today my mom gave me my beary own teddy bear.  I never had a teddy bear before.

"Wow!" I said.  "This is so neat.  I will name him Ted."  I gave Ted a little bear hug.

I was beary excited about my new teddy bear so I went to show Uncle Tibbs.

"Uncle Tibbs," I said, "Look at my new teddy bear."

"Oh that's very nice, Ajdin."  Uncle Tibbs patted Ted gently.

"I think everyone needs a teddy bear, Uncle Tibbs.  I mean teddy bears make great friends and they are beary good at giving bear hugs and --" I paused.  "But Uncle Tibbs... what about you?  You don't have a teddy bear!"

"Hmmm..." Uncle Tibbs scratched his head.

"Uncle Tibbs," I said, "this won't do.  We really must get you a teddy bear also."

"Actually Ajdin, I already have one," he said.

"You do?" I asked.  "You never told me.  What does he look like?"

"Well, he's brown, and furry, and about your height," Uncle Tibbs explained.

"And what is he like?" I asked.

"Well, he loves honey and salmon, and he likes going on adventures, and he's a beary loyal friend," Uncle Tibbs said.

"Uncle Tibbs, I would like to meet him if that's okay?" I said.

"Ajdin," Uncle Tibbs continued, "don't you know?  My teddy bear is... YOU!"
