I don’t think I had any teddy bears when I was a baby. I have to be honest, I have always found this a little odd. Certainly none have ever appeared as I got older from my Mum telling me “oh this was your teddy when you were a baby Jen”. My brother on the other hand had a few teddies I recall that he had ‘Little Bear’ and ‘Blue Bear’.
My two boys have so many cuddly toys that there is a bin bag full of some that they don’t even have in their in room because there would just be too many! Also because the ones I am keeping out of their everyday reach are ones that they were given as newborns ans a couple were given to me when i was pregnant with each of them. So being that little bit more special, at least I think the sentiment behind them are, I don’t want them to get ruined through play and rough and tumble.
The only stuffed toy I had as a baby was a knitted doll. I think my parents had wanted me to call it Susie – they may have christened her that when I would have been too young to talk let alone think up a girls name! Anyway, I only know this doll as Saucy – yes you heard that right Saucy!!
I can only imagine that as with many words I was unable to pronounce as a toddler, Saucy was my way of saying Susie. I know that I would call motorbikes ‘tomatobikes’ and the reason my Na’s were named ‘Na’ was because my grandparents were meant to be called Nanny and Nana but I drooped the extra ‘na’.
I still have my knitted doll, she is at my Mum’s house somewhere in her attic she is in prettty good condition from what I remember as I havent seen her for a few years now.
Here is me, my ‘Saucy’ and my brother. I think I would have been almost 3 years old here

Thank you xx
HAHAHAH that’s is funny. You should get “Saucy” doll down from the attic and feature her in your posts. Lovely photo of you both. You are such a cutie x
Haha I was definitely expecting something else then!! I would love to ride a tomato bike one day though!
Awww, that’s so cute that your toy was called Saucy. I love kid-named toys. My brother had a rabbit called Puppy!!! X
ha! I love it. I thought it was going to be called Saucy because you had an obsession to Tomato Sauce or she had a tomato sauce stain on her! x
ooh saucy! don’t whatever you do give it to your boys, however good it still looks – my old blankie was still in great condition & Sam had it but it just disintegrated with every wash…I think I have a thread left somewhere 🙁 x
Cute!
Precious pics!

Love the idea of you calling a doll Saucy when your parents wanted it called Susie – they must have been motified.
Still looks just like you!
I wondered what this flashback was going to be about when I saw the title 🙂 Great photo.
