My BFF: a bear name Brownie

In December of 2004, I bought a set of 3 bears from Macy's whom I named Brownie, Cocoa and Tanner. All three are identical except for the color and texture. At the beginning, Emily was not fond of any stuff animals. I think that she never had one or a blanket or anything similar to it. When I first handle her Brownie, she was not quite sure of the texture and color. After a few days, she got very close to it to the point of never letting go. Although, Brownie needs a "shower' now and then and comes out of the wash & dryer squeaky clean, there is no substitution for he BFF. I have offered her his brothers Cocoa and Tanner on several occasions but she knows that they are not the same and refuses to play with his brothers. To this date, Brownie has travel over 3 countries, a few states, 2 houses and numerous playgrounds and sand boxes. He even had lipstick and diaper cream . The bear goes everywhere with her and will forever be Emily’s BFF.
