Build-A-Bear

Several weeks ago, thanks to the kindness of friends, Daniel was treated to his first trip to Build-A-Bear accompanied by his big sister. He was a bit overwhelmed with all of it. We ended up choosing a bear for him once it was clear that he wasn't sure how all of this worked. He loved the "stuffing station", and was really into stomping the foot pedal to stuff his bear. Madi had a ball showing him around to the various stations and attempting to engage him in the total experience. We made sure his bear was complete with a heartbeat, and Madi recorded the sweetest, "I love you Daniel", which he loves to listen to. His bear, which we decided to name 'Lucky', will go with us to the hospital next week, so Daniel can hear his sister's loving words over and over.
