Building Memories @ Build A Bear

Yes, I admit it, I left work early on Friday. I had a very important appointment with one extra special little lady. I had promised Miss Olivia (my daughter) a trip to Build A Bear to make her very own bear after she reached certain milestones in preschool and with the steadfast determination that runs so strongly in my family she reminded me every.single.day last week that she had met her goals and Friday would be Build A Bear day. I admit, it’s partly my fault since I’ve kind of built the whole Build a Bear thing up in our house. It’s not something she’s ever done before and she knows that her big brother Nick was only allowed to go one time so it seems like a pretty big deal to them and therefore makes great leverage. Great, now I’ve admitted to leaving work early on Friday and to bribing my children, terrible of me I know! But with how many Mommy readers I have I’m sure you understand, heck you’ve probably been there yourself a time or two…

I have absoltely no regrets. To see the smile on her face and how she lit up while she brought ‘Alexa the ballerina bear’ to life was absolutely worth it! To say she was a little bit awe struck would be an understatement.

After we finished dressing Alexa and preparing her birth certificate we had a wonderful gourmet meal of strawberry smoothies and french fries, I think it was the best Friday afternoon I’ve had in a LONG time. :D
