My daughter lost her favourite Bear
When Katelin was born a friend bought her an M&S gift set and in it was a little pink bear which she addopted as her favourite thing.
She somehow managed to drop him at school today even though I clipped it to her buggy straps with a soother saver.
We have retraced our steps , asked at reception if he had been handed in at both schools and asked people we passed if they had seen it. No luck.
She sleeps with him every night and he is what she wants if she is poorly or has hurt herself and when she's tired she picks him up.
I feel like crying.
I dont know if she will sleep without him as we have never tried.
She loved that bear and she is already asking for him.
I know I wont be able to replace him as I have already tried writing to M&S and they told me he is discontinued.
( I had tried to prepare for this)
I could kick myself for not seeing him fall.

Its my worst nightmare.
Daniel has managed to keep his fav cuddley toy for 9 years.
Aarons comforter is a blanket which we have 3 of.
Daniels even came back from North Wales in a jiffy bag when we left it in a hotel when he was a baby.
I have an image in my head of some kids getting hold of'bear' and pulling him limb from limb.
Its torture.
Dont know what to do at bed time.
She is too young to explain that he has gone and to bribe her with something else.
I guess I'm in for an interesting night tonight.
Poor Katelin.
How did bedtime go tonight? Im afraid I cant suggest anything that someone else hasn't already suggested.

When I took her up to bed( slightly later so she was really tired) she still did'nt want the 2 that I'd doctored, instead she just cuddled a squashy horse that we got in M&P. So if he proves to be her new favourite I'm going to buy a couple.
It sounds silly, but I actually cried as I know how much she loved him.
You never know, one of Aarons friends mums may have found him and bring him to school tomorrow.
If only!
I'm hoping Katelin will learn to love one of her others
