Build-a-bear fun!

Make a Smilebox photobook

August 1st- Build a bear was running a great special in the month of August so we took Raygan-Elise to get her first build-a-bear and Reese to get possibly his last. I believe this was his fourth but I'd have to ask him to be sure. His first was when he was 2, and it was so he would throw away his bottle. We did his whole build-a-bear then told him out in the mall that if he wanted his (he picked a tabby cat) that he had to throw away his bottle. And right there he threw it in trash. Now of course when we got back to car he cried for it but we just kept giving him the cat.

Reese choose a blue piece bear which he dressed as a TN Titans Football player and named him- Tackle. Reese is loving football and has his first game tomorrow night. He was very excited about the whole process, but did get a little embarrassed during the whole "put your heart in the bear" part where you have to rub it and kiss it.

Raygan-Elise picked a tie-dyed bear. (Even though Mommy kept pushing for the soft adorable lamb...she wasn't having it!) Reese helped pick out Hello Kitty PJ's and slippers for her and we named her Princess Baby II! Most of the time Raygan-Elise really just wanted to play with the mini-versions of the animals, especially the tabby cat, which is the one Reese has in the big version. We kept showing her the big animals, and she kept going to the little ones. John Aedon came and visited a few weeks later, and we went with him to do his build-a-bear. She again Loved the little animals, so I gave in and was going to buy the little kitty until...She started loving on the new little bitty version of the lamb! I was so excited so we bought the mini-lamb. She is so cute carrying it around. Although her pink poodle we bought for $3 at a consignment sale(she would carry it everywhere. On the daycare cam, it is always with her!), then lost...then had to go buy a replacement is still her favorite!!
