It wasn't until bed time the night of his 3rd birthday that we noticed "Bear" was missing...I told him I would look for Bear and bring him to bed when I found him. Well, as I came down the stairs to look for Bear it dawned on me he was left at Ikea. Panic set in! I immediately called Ikea but it hadn't been turned in yet. Haley was crying, poor girl, she knows how much Bear means to Tyler because she has the same connection with her Lamby and Beary, yes very original I know. She also felt responsible because she kept picking Bear up for Tyler in the play area, as he was too distracted to care for him. I started looking for a picture of Tyler with his bear so I could then search on Ebay for another one, just in case. Well when I found the picture, Cody was looking over my shoulder, and he started to cry too. We all ended up in a weeping mess on the couch, grieving poor Tyler's loss that he wasn't even aware of himself! Jeremy was having a very hard time holding back the laughter.

VERY long story short, Tyler was reunited with Bear after a friend of Haley's mom who works at Ikea brought him safely home. Tyler didn't even know that Bear had spent a cold and lonely night at Ikea, had he known...well there would have been many more tears.
