Aunt Mary and the Bear

Simone has a knack for pulling out the toy someone gave her when they come to visit. This is quite a feat if you've ever seen Simone's toy basket. Aunt Mary gave Simone this bear three years ago when she got home from the hospital from her bout with thrombocytopenia/liver failure, and she's had it ever since. Simone pulled the bear out of her toy basket this morning unprompted and took it over to Aunt Mary to play.
