Build-A-Bear

Yesterday after Mommy's doctor's appointment, we all went to build-a-bear so that I could make a special bear to take to the hospital when my baby sister is born.

First, I got to pick out the bear, which I picked a
pink and white fluffy one. Then, we put a music box in her hand that plays the Brahm's Lullabye. Then, I got a heart and did lots of fun stuff with it. I touched it to my nose, knees, head, ears, eyes, my tummy, and then I gave it a kiss and put it into the bear. I really filled it with love!

After filling the heart with love and stuffing the little bear, I got to give it a bath and brush her hair. I didn't really like the bath station because I got a little scared when the dryers came on and blew air on my hands!



After bathing the bear, Daddy and Mommy helped me pick out an outfit to dress her in. We picked a pink shirt with a baby hat, rattle, bottle and blanket. Daddy helped me dress her.

We then got to name her and get her a birth certificate. We decided on the name, Gertie! That's because Grandpa Doug, Grandma Donita and Aunt Traci have been calling my baby sister Gertie, or Gertrude, since Daddy and Mommy won't tell her name! Silly! But, we thought it was appropriate.

The above picture is the final bear. Girly, huh!? I had lots of fun, and I can't wait to give it to my sister! I even carried it through the mall and to the car, look at the picture below! Mommy thought it looked silly because the box was bigger than me. However, Daddy and Mommy are really happy that I was able to create this bear by myself from beginning to end to give to my little sister.
