Build-A-Bear

Soon after becoming pregnant, I saw a children's book that talked about welcoming a new sibling. In the book it talked about bringing a present for the new baby from the older sibling, and also a present from the new baby for the older sibling. We thought that would be a cute idea, so a few weeks ago we got a little toy that is now wrapped and in my hospital bag to be a gift "from baby to Isaac." Then Taylor and I thought it would be cute to have Isaac bring a stuffed animal to the hospital for baby. I came across a coupon for Build-A-Bear, so that's were we went last night. I've never been there, always thought it was way pricey, but was pleasantly surprised!!! It can be as cheap as you want or as pricey as you want. It was pretty cool and a great thing for Isaac to see and do at his age. Here's Isaac with his bear, which was about to be stuffed.

His bear, which was named "Vanilla" (Still not stuffed)

Isaac holding baby brother's bear, which was named "Blackie" (man we are original!)

He got to push the pedal to make the stuffing go. He is watching his being filled.

Giving both bears a "bath"

I don't know how long it will last, but it was sure cute to watch Isaac all cuddle up with "vanilla" last night and carry him around all morning. :) It was a fun family outing and Isaac even put baby brother's bear in his crib. (Here's to hoping we'll remember to bring it to the hospital!!)
