Big Little Bear Hugs - a photo on Flickriver

            JAGO:  “Hullo my little sister, Daisy-Maud!”

DAISY-MAUD:  “Hullo my big brother, Jago!”

JAGO:  “I love you, Daisy-Maud!  May I hold you and give you a cuddle?”

DAISY-MAUD:  “Oh!  I’d love that Jago!  Thank you!”

SCOUT:  “Oh Daisy-Maud!  Daisy-Maud!”  *Comes running up to Daisy-Maud, trembling.*

JAGO:  “Little Scout!  Are you alright?”  *Worried.*

DAISY-MAUD:  “Little Scout, whatever is wrong?”  *Concerned.*

SCOUT:  *Sniffles.*  “I just had the most horrible dream!  I dreamed that I had a grumbly tummy and there were no yummy treats for me to eat!”

DAISY-MAUD:  “Oh that does sound like a horrible dream, Scout!  However Scout, dreams aren’t real.  This is Daddy’s house, and there are always sweet treats in the pantry enough to fill little grumbly bear tummies – even yours.  Come, jump up in my lap and I will hold you and that will make you feel better.”

SCOUT:  “Oh thank you, Daisy-Maud.  You always give the best big little bear hugs.  I feel better already.”

DAISY-MAUD:  “Of course you do, sweet Scout.”

DADDY:  “Oh!  What a lovely image of the three of you holding one another.  It just so happens the theme for Smile on Saturday is ‘holding’.  Let me go and fetch my camera and take a photo.  Then, we’ll have some tea and shortbread biscuits.  Would you like that?”

JAGO, DAISY-MAUD and SCOUT:  “Oh yes please, Daddy!”

DAISY-MAUD:  “See Scout!  I told you!  This is Daddy’s house, and in Daddy’s house there are always sweet treats to be had!”

DADDY:  “Now Jago, Daisy-Maud and Scout, on the count of three say ‘grumbly tummies’.  One… two…  three!”

JAGO, DAISY-MAUD and SCOUT:  “Grumbly tummies!”

SCOUT:  “Grumbly tummy, Daddy!  Grumbly tummy!”  *Rubs tummy vigorously.*

There is nothing better than a cuddle from a teddy bear.  Being cuddled by a precious teddy bear or holding one yourself can often bring a great sense of peace and comfort.  It seems that my teddy bears are also good at giving one another comfort in the way of cuddles too!  If you follow my photostream, you will be familiar with Jago, Daisy-Maud and Scout, as they often feature in stories and adventures on Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and sometimes other days of the week, such as this photo.  The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 27th of January is “holding”, so here we have my blue bear, Jago, holding his little sister, Daisy-Maud, who is holding little Scout in his new jingle bell tutu from Father Christmas and the Christmas Bear on her lap.  I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!

Scout was a gift to Paddy (my Paddington bear whom I have had since I was two years old) from my friend.  He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa.  His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House.  He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences.  Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.

Jago was a gift from a dear friend in England.  He is made of English mohair with suede paw pads and glass eyes.  He is a gentle bear, kind and patient who carries an air of calm about him.  He fita in with everybear else very nicely.

Daisy-Maud is Jago’s little sister and was made by the same friend in England who made him.  She is made of German mohair with floral fabric cotton paw pads that match her pretty sunhat, and glass eyes.  A sweet and loving little girl bear, she is happy to be reunited with her big brother, Jago, and enjoys being spoiled by her new Daddy.
