Yes, she is comfy and very affectionate - with us. Very well, I will put
the bear in her chair during the day? She has her bed for night. Should I
move it in there or just give her time with it in her chair?
I've never had a girl like her with such problems. It would be nice if she
could find comfort in that bear, although she get plenty from us whenever
she wants to
