\nBirthday Bounce Excerpt:
\nSunlight peeked through the curtains of the cozy bedroom, casting soft rays on Jeff\u2019s sleeping face. The room was bathed in the light of early morning. From his spot on the bed, Takoda Teddy Bear watched as the little boy began to stir in the sunlight.\xa0 The little bear smiled. After a night filled with cozy cuddles, he was ready to see what the new day had in store.
\n
\nJeff blinked and rubbed the sleep from his eyes with a yawn. Then he sat up straight with a wide grin on his face.\xa0 With an unusual burst of energy, the little boy quickly hopped out of bed, threw on his clothes, and hurried downstairs, leaving Takoda wondering about the source of this newfound morning enthusiasm.\xa0 What was it that had Jeff so excited today?
