Theme: Soft | Become a Photo Hunter | View Blogroll
This is Jason, my middle son, when he was about 5. He’s 19 now, and I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing this photo for this theme. 
I thought it “fit” because kids and stuffed animals are soft and cuddly, and this shows a “softer” side of a little boy.

That IS perfect for today! What a doll he was! I bet he grew up to be quite handsome too!
February 23, 2007 at 10:12 pm
Nothing like snuggling your good ole bear.
What a handsome fellow – love the blond bangs.
Are they bangs on a boy?
Have a marvelous weekend.

Oh, I love it!!! How cute! Very good for the theme. Mine’s up, too.

Very sweet picture! I’m sure he’s hoping none of his friends have found your blog today

Very sweet photo! Soft teddy and soft cuddly son

Don’t know who’s cuter, the bear or the boy. I think they’re both pretty cute!
February 23, 2007 at 11:26 pm
They are both cute. Thanks for the visit.
February 23, 2007 at 11:29 pm
what a fabulous photo! Does your son still have his bear? I just recovered my teddy bear a couple of years ago, and the poor thing certainly is NOT soft anymore (good golly he IS 56 yrs old). My photo is up, please come and visit
February 23, 2007 at 11:35 pm
That teddy looks so familiar. Almost like my favorite teddy growing up! How strange! Mine’s up!
February 23, 2007 at 11:36 pm
What a sweet memory!
That’s a great photo. Mine is similar, only it was taken tonight when I saw the theme. Congrats on being in the spotlight.

That is a fantastic photo, mine have gotten peeved at me when I’ve shared older pictures but they get over it. (smile)

I forgot about bears… how could I forget the teddy bears! Your son was adorable as a child and more than likely very handsome as he is now almost grown. He looks like he has a very sort heart.
Congratulations on being the site of the day.

I’m sure your son won’t mind sharing this soft moment with everyone! He looks incredibly happy!
Congrats on being the site of the day!

Your photo embraces a wonderful memory and is such a great representation of “soft” ! I am reminded of my own son, who loved his stuffed owl when he was younger.
I played this week too…
February 24, 2007 at 1:50 am
Perfect photo for this week’s theme. Congratulation for “Photo of the Day”…
Cool that your son reads your blog. I don’t that he minds at all…
Have a blessed weekend.

Do you still have that teddy bear? I bet he would love to have it even now that he’s older.
February 24, 2007 at 6:32 am
Oh he is a cutie!! and the teddy looks sooooo soft!
February 24, 2007 at 8:11 am
I love the idea of showing the softer side of the boy. What a great take on the theme of soft…
February 24, 2007 at 8:27 am
Oh what an amazingly soft, precious photo. I would want to cuddle the teddy bear and admire the sweet looking boy. Great photo. I’d wanna post this too if I were his mom….sweet.
Mine’s posted
February 24, 2007 at 9:28 am
That is such a wonderful photo of your son holding the soft little bear. It is nice to look back and see their softer side, they grow up so fast! I accidently commented on your word cloud post…Have a nice day!
February 24, 2007 at 9:40 am
Adorable—both of them!
February 24, 2007 at 10:32 am

Precious photo – how adorable!!
I finally have my “soft” picture posted!
February 24, 2007 at 11:59 pm
So sweet. When my brother was that age, he had a poor, tattered bear that was as big as he was that he slept with every night. That bear was about as flat as a bear could be. He also smelled a wee bit like well, er…wee.
February 25, 2007 at 12:12 am
wonderful memories – thanks for stopping by my blog too.
February 25, 2007 at 4:39 am
Great concept of “soft”….Well done for being site of the day..!
February 26, 2007 at 1:00 pm
I hope your son doesn’t get mad about you sharing that picture either because it is so precious. He looks so happy.
February 26, 2007 at 9:26 pm
Good one, Barbara.
My 6-year-old son just gave me his teddy.. he says, “To keep you company!” Precious!
February 27, 2007 at 3:11 am
Hope he still has that soft side to him. Nice picture and pretty well preserved.
