Picking A Lifelong Best Friend

So Noah had some down time since he has the flu and all. I thought it would be a good time for him to begin the process of picking his best friend. This friend will play with him, comfort him, sleep right there with him, never move away, always listen and never fight. He can drag this friend through the mud, beat up on him, use him as a pillow, throw him and he will never hear a complaint.


Here is my lifelong best friend, Mr. Bears. Yes, I am 27 and still sleep with a teddy bear. He might not look like much (he had to have re constructive face surgery after Charlie tried to "love" on him.) but he has been through a lot. Kindergarten, breakups, moves, heartbreaks, tea parties, college, Rome, deaths of family members, London, giving birth. Mr. Bears never tires.






So now it is time for Noah to begin the process of picking his best friend. He has three good contenders.

Aubie the Tiger- Aubie represents all that is Auburn. Spirit, Perseverance, Tradition, Adventure. Plus he's a tiger. He can scare people! He was a gift from Dan, Jana and Micah. That alone his worth several points in his favor.


Brannon the Bear- Brannon is a classic. He has style. He is bigger and sturdier than the others giving him long lasting potential. He is rugged. Brannon is what Adam and I bought when we found out Noah was Noah. When the ultrasound pronounced, "It's a boy!". So he has sentiment.

Blue Bear- Blue Bear is like mommy's bear. He is soft and cuddly. He fits perfect in Noah's little arms. He was a gift from MiMi, just like Mr. Bears was a gift from my maternal grandmother.

I took this video, Noah was bored with me and he does have the flu, so he couldn't quite decide yet.


Who will Noah pick??? What do you think?

Dan says it's DEFINITELY the tiger cause Noah made the most noise on that one . . you could even say he let out a big ROAR!!! ;)

too cute! what a fun blog! :) Micah, too, has many animals he'll have to choose from - i've even offered my childhood friend up for the picking (Dan made me - he hasn't let me sleep w/ her since we got married!) :(

My vote is for Brannon the bear. He just looks like a life-long best friend.

I wondered if Mr. Bears was still around... I can't get over his "facelift." Funny. :)

Also, since Aubie was sent BY his best friend it's only right that he stand in his stead while the REAL THING is away! ;)

To-o-o-o cute! Poor little Noah. He is so sweet trying to be cheerful even when he is so sick -just like his great granny. She is sick also and still smiling!
I think Noah is going to be like his Daddy - the kind of guy who has a lot of friends! No need to choose, Noah. Love them all!

Carrie said...
