Big bears and little boys

On our spring cleaning project list for today: the boys' closets and desks, in search of stuff they've outgrown. The first thing Michael-Monster pulled out and added to the pile of stuff he's ready to give away? Big Bear, the over-sized grizzly who once knew so much love that he's nearly flat.

I am hiding at my computer desk, trying to regain emotional control so that I don't burst into tears when I go back up to help him with the rest of his room.
