A Bedtime Sweet

I sat on the soft woven rug with my tiger costume hood pushed back behind my ears. Inside my orange pumpkin bucket, wrapped lollipops and foil candies sat in a shiny mound. I gently propped Little Bear upright against the wooden toy chest, wrapping his pink satin blanket securely around his tummy. With careful fingers, I reached into the bucket and lifted out a small grape lollipop wrapped in clear, crackling cellophane. I peeled the plastic twist off slowly so it wouldn't make a loud noise. Holding the smooth purple sweet close to Bear's nose, I let him catch the sweet, fruity smell before setting it down safely on a folded clean paper napkin for tomorrow. #Mybuddydoll #ryder
