Teddy Bear Picnic 2nd Edition

I guess I was a little more than accurate yesterday when I said my 2nd swap parcel would be arriving soon. :)  I came home from work yesterday to find a box of soon-to-be-opened goodies sitting on my kitchen counter. :)

My lovely swap partner sent some great stuff and little X really enjoyed helping me open and explore all the things inside.

Among the goodies, I found 2 skeins of Cascade 220 Superwash in a beautiful blue (which, if you're me, you can never have enough blue),

a sheep keychain and some fun stitch markers (which will definitely get put to good use!),

a family pancake recipe and real maple syrup (YUM!),

a Winnie the Pooh Bear blanket for our picnic and for X to cuddle up with, and a teddy bear kit - complete with his own clothing!

The teddy bear kit comes with a teddy bear body, stuffing and some fun felt coins to put inside next to Teddy's heart.  This teddy had a smiley face, peace sign and BFF coin.  The BFF & peace sign went next to his heart.  I let X help me put the smiley coin in with the stuffing and he placed it next to the bum. :)  So cute! :)   And to complete it all, he had a little gray sweatshirt to put on.  X couldn't stop loving on this bear.  There were lots of hugs and kisses given out yesterday (along w/ a little nose biting) and someone didn't want to share with me so I could grab pictures.

The Pooh Bear blanket is really soft and squishy.  I took it out of the packaging for pictures and to let X have.  It was put on the couch while I was putting together Teddy.  X picked it up and brought it over to me so we could sit together on the couch under his new blankie.   Swap partner - you hit the nail on the head with these things! :)  He also kept rubbing the blanket against his cheek (that's how I showed him how soft it was).

Thank you, thank you for everything, swap pal! :)  It was fun to open and to give to X so he could play. You made him a very happy little boy yesterday!
