New Friends

We have been talking lately about wanting to take Eli to Build a Bear since he is really into stuffed animals. He already has so many, but we thought it would be special for him to make his own. We also wanted to get a gift card for our niece's birthday coming up. Since we didn't have anything planned for today we thought it would be a fun outing for the day. Eli loved it! (We knew he would!) We let him look at all the different animals to pick out which one he wanted. He had to give several different animals hugs but we narrowed it down to a dragon and a leopard and Eli picked the leopard. We asked him several times and each time he picked the leopard. We also wanted to make a new friend for Jude so Eli helped us pick out a nice puppy since Jude was sleeping in the stroller. Eli had a blast going through the process of making his new friend. We looked at all the clothes and accessories but since Eli likes to sleep with his stuffed animals we figured his leopard didn't need anything extra. The last part of the process was filling out the birth certificate and picking out a name. Eli had no problem picking out a name for his leopard, Baby Jaguar. :-) For Jude's puppy we decided on Spot!
