Day Ten of Photo Challenge

Today the theme was Childhood memory. As I was sitting here thinking what I could use I saw this figurine on my bookshelf. This is the figurine that my Nanny got me for my 16th birthday (obviously). But I remembered thinking how precious it was and how careful I wanted to be with it to make sure it did not get broke. Then I thought about my teddy bear that I have had since I was about 7 years old. I also got this bear for my birthday from one of my good friends, but for some reason, he has always been precious to me also. He has moved with m every where I have lived since then. He has even been to college. He has seen me shed many tears and laugh during many good times. So I thought since these two things are my two oldest and most memorable items that I would include both of them and their stories today. My bear, is of course, named Snuggles because I thought he looked like the bear from the commercials and my figurine still sits on my book shelf and every time I move, I take special attention not to break her.
