Buttons

The Bean has a stuffed dog he loves, but it's a little big to carry around. Nice to sleep with though! So we took him to Build a Bear Workshop to let him pick out a new friend. 

If you haven't been to build a bear, you get your animals mostly unstuffed and you go through a few stations until you end up with a stuffed animal.

He was very cute looking at all the different animals (they have completed samples) until he finally settled on a pug dog. Mommy's fav breed!! He loves it. It goes with his blanky and he likes it when he wants his blanky. Much easier to pack around. We had to name the dog ( which got ear bows so I think it's a she) and he kinda picked Buttons from the name generator. So Buttons it is! You get a fancy certificate with your animal. 

Of course the animal is like a gateway to everything else they sell in the store. Clothes, shoes, accessories and the like. One of the sample dogs had roller skates and leash that he seemed interested in. Then he can pull it around.  That might to go on his want list next time a gift occasion rolls around. 

Mommy had to make both of them fit in the Ergo. Harder than it looks!
