Chili the Bear

The other day Jack lost his "Baby Gus". A bear that he has been attached to for the last few months. We looked everywhere and Tom even stopped at Home Depot tonight to see if we left it there. (Not only do we frequent Home Depot, that was the last place I remember him having it.) So, he has been asking about it for the last few days, and we tried to pass another bear off as "the grown up" Baby Gus, but that was a no-go.

So, tonight, I searched the Beanie Bear website, yeah, there is one. And they list EVERY SINGLE BEAR alphabetically. Well, I did not know that damn bears name so I had to start from the top. Fortunately, Chili isn't too far down the alphabet! Found the Bear! Oh, and it's retired! So apparently they don't make it anymore. Next stop....Ebay. I thought I was going to have to pay $20 for that bear, but I scored it for $3! I paid more for shipping.

I know that we could have waited a few days and he would have forgotten about it, but really. Jack is about the cutest thing, and when he looks at you with those eyes and those chubby cheeks, my heart just melts! Plus, he's the middle child, and sometimes they just need some extra love.
