Birthday-Palooza, Day 3 Part 2, Build-a-Bear!

For the culmination of birthday-palooza, we took Seth to Build-a-Bear, so the kids could make him a buddy. At first we were afraid it was pointless, because he didn't care for any of the animals in particular. After a lot of toy-skin waving and "isn't this cute-ing" we were about ready to just pick for him. But then he found the toy of his dreams. A big blue pteranadon. (Apparently we know it isn't a pterodactyl because it doesn't have teeth.) He shoved the other toys away and grabbed onto his new friend. Finally! An opinion! The big kids helped pick sounds for him, stuff him and bathe him (really blowing air on him and scrubbing him). In the end, Seth had a sweet new friend. After much serious discussion we decided on a name for the dino. We wanted it to be something Seth would be able to say, so we went with "Bubbasaurus" or "Bubba" for short. It is definitely safe to say that Seth loves his new friend Bubba. Especially the chewy parts of him.
