Beary, My Teddy


Beary My Teddy

Fuzzy oak fur rubbing up against my face with its nose nuzzling my face! Beary has been with me for as long as I can remember. Although he is older than most teddy bears and is big in size, Beary has never left my side.

While I was in Australia, I often needed to be comforted after a hard day of school or a lecture from my parents. He never questions me or makes me feel wrong for my choice. He has maple tree brown for his fur and light brown ears and tummy fur. His little bow that is tied fast around his neck is the symbol of my everlasting bond with him. His short stubby legs with soft patches of fur on the soles of his feet and his arms to match are worn with the strain of the many times I have swept him off the ground and give him a big hug or piggy backed him! His deep brown eyes give him a wise look that makes me feel that I can tell him anything, and he can always reply with a positive and helpful, yet wordless answer.

I still confide in Beary about anything from homework questions to nagging thoughts. Sometimes he even wears a bandanna so he can match just like me! Overall, Beary is just like me in many ways. He can be confided in but sometimes just doesn’t have the answer. Something that many have told me i can be at times, although i still help every time I can.

As long as I can be with him, I know that I can be safe and be myself always and everywhere. Although he isn’t actually living, I make sure to sleep with him and keep him clean so that he doesn’t obtain any rips or holes! I may not always bring him along, because my friends would tease me if I did, but he never leaves my thoughts completely, even if he isn’t on my mind completely! Never the less, I love my teddy bear dearly and I would never be able to fall asleep without him!

I loved learning about Teddy, the bear. You descriptively showed me how important he is to you--your 'comfort item'.
Can't wait to read more.

The picture really helped. Beary's so cute. I would love to have a teddy bear like him.
I think that your description of Beary really helped visualize him. And it made him even cuter.
Your sentence about how his soft fur nuzzling your nose, I could feel that as I was reading it.
Good vocabulary too. For example, 'confide.' I also love how you said that you could tell him anything and he would always give the right, positive answer in a wordless way.
The way you wrote it shows how important he is to you.
Good job. :)

I thought that your blog was very good. You described and went into a lot of detail about your teddy bear. I also liked your begining a lot. I thought that it was very creative.

I thought that the beginning was very creative, and i like how you descriptively described Beary. I understand how a person sometimes just needs someone/something to hug when you are feeling depressed, sad, lonely, or even happy.
Great Job :)

i can see that you love your teddy very much. even though I never had a personal comfort toy, I understand the feelings you share with your Teddy. I have the same connection with some of the great books I have over time. I will always keep them and probably read them over several times.
