What's in the box?

A little birdie told me that something was going to be coming in the mail for Sammy, and sure enough, a few days ago a box addressed to him arrived on our front doorstep.  I brought it upstairs so that Sammy could open it, though I think he was happy with the box on its own to be honest.

I opened the box for him and let him explore the contents:

I managed to wrest it away from him for a few minutes so I could take some photos of the surprise in the box:

Isn't it adorable? I love the bright and colorful fabrics, and it's just the right size for Sammy to hold on to and cuddle. And the best part?

It's personalized on the back! And just who is the wonderful person who made this for Sammy? My friend, Lindsey! I did some design work for her and she repaid me by making this adorable stuffed owl friend for Sammy.

I think it's safe to say he likes it.
