Wyatt's Build a Bear Adventure

Wyatt thought over and over and over again all December long- "What should I ask Santa for?" He went back and forth between Star Wars Bionicle, Build a Bear Gift Card, Lego's, and an RC Rover. He just didn't have any idea what to ask for! Well, turns out Santa brought him the Imaginext Rover I told him NOT to ask Santa for because it was too expensive. So it was a good thing I had told Aunt Sara that he was hoping to get a Build a Bear gift card, but I wasn't sure if Santa was going to bring that. So she gave him the next best thing- 5 little boxes individually wrapped with a $5 bill inside. The perfect amount of money for a trip to Build a Bear!! So as soon as school was back in session, we hit up the mall just as it opened and went on a Build a Bear adventure!
He's a smart cookie and knows if he doesn't buy an expensive bear, he can buy more accessories for it! It was a tough decision, but my boys like their traditional teddy bears so he picked out this little tan one. He filled his heart with lots of great characteristics, and stuffed him with just the right amount of fluff- not too much!!


 And then came time for the accessories. This was a tough decision. So many Star Wars outfits. So many fun clothes, and shoes, and toys for his bear!
 In the end, he picked out a Chiefs outfit. After all, the Chiefs were about to head into the playoffs!! And because we had a coupon, he also got a pair of Star Wars jammies.

 He got him all dressed up and then it was time to name him. Um......this might've been the hardest decision of all! Wyatt always says he likes to pick a random word and add a -y to the end to come up with his bears name. Well, nothing was coming to him. Then he settled upon Harry, but then Henry popped up and he knew that was his new bears' name!




He definitely passed the snuggling test at home!
Welcome to the family, Henry!!

Gotta love Build A Bear! It's always a special time. Luke picked that same bear at our last trip... He has a double identity as Luke Skywalker AND Po Damron. haha!
