Can't "Bear" to be Without It

Aaron has a bedroom item he now can't do without. It's a teddy bear
that he hugs while he's sleeping, and that he brings with him once
he's awake and we get him. Although he soon loses track of it once
he's out and about, and doesn't seem to need it again until it's time
to get to bed again.

Excuse my punnery, but as much as he is a "bear" most of the day (or
is the proper animal analogy "crab"?), he's a real teddy bear before
bedtime, dispensing hugs, raising his hands for "up," and going
quietly and cuddlingly to his room. We love our little guy.
