If I am remembering correctly, I believe on my wedding website that I described my friend Lisa as “loves all things British.” Well, that is still true today. In fact, she recently sent me a picture of the Queen that she has hanging up in her apartment.
So, when Jackson developed his love for Buckingham Palace, I had to fill her in. I sent her some clips of Jackson watching the changing of the guard and told her the two of them would be the best quarantine buddies.
She ended up surprising us with some gifts delivered to our house: a children’s book about London and a little teddy bear dressed as a British soldier. They were quite the hit!
Soldier Teddy Bear, as he’s now called, even joins us for bed and nap times (along with Lamb). Jackson made a little crib using a step stool and an empty diaper wipe container, and puts Soldier Teddy Bear down to sleep each time.
