My sis is here visiting for Thanksgiving and took Avery to Build-a-Bear yesterday for a special treat. Avery did not know what to do at first with so many choices. She first picked out a very ugly pink kitty and it took a lot of persuasion to make her change her mind. She then chose a cute cheetah (pictured below), but eventually settled on Rudolph. She did not like that they were not stuffed and would not hold on to it, but once it got stuffed she was very excited! She was able to choose a sound - rudolph's song - (thanks alot Kari!), put a heart inside, get a birth certificate, and even some jingle bells for her new friend.
Once we got home we had to watch Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and also listen to that darn song multiple times while she danced around the room with Grandpa. What a fun experience for an almost 3 year old girl, as Avery keeps reminding us she will be in January!
