Reesi is so excited to be going to Build-a-Bear!
Alley and her "two" new boots.
Every Valentine's Larry and I take Reesi to Build-a-Bear to make a new stuffed animal. When I told Reesi we were going she was so excited. She decided that she was going to make a stuffed animal for Larry because she hasn't been as nice to him as she should be. She was pretty excited about how happy it would make him.
However, once we got there and she started looking at all the animals she just couldn't resist getting one for herself instead. She picked out a horse and her favorite part was brushing its hair. Larry was against buying any clothes, but I did talk him into some shoes. The tricky part was that this horse has four feet. That means buying extra shoes. We couldn't talk Larry into that, but Reesi was happy with just two shoes. Once we got in the car she called Meemaw right away to tell her about the horse, Alley. She just happened to mention (the first sentence out of her mouth) that she needed two more boots for Alley and would Meemaw buy her two more boots. She knows Meemaw is a push over.
Of course, Alley went to bed with Reesi and Andy. The whole night Reesi kept talking about how Alley felt and Alley hurt her foot and Alley is so excited to have a new owner and making crying sounds (Alley was crying about her foot). I just couldn't help but wonder how long this tradition will last. When will she go get a new stuffed animal, but the pretending stops and it just turns into a stuffed animal? I don't want to think about that yet!! She's just too sweet right now.

G and L will be jealous tomorrow. Let's hope Lyla doesn't try to cut Alley's mane of hair!
We have a Build a Bear dog, and we have four skates for it! I bet Lofton would never know they are gone. The boy in him doesn't care much for stuffed animals.
I love this tradition though; it is so sweet.
that's fun! sadly, we have never done build a bear!!
