The Call Family

Several months ago Grandma Call made a deal with Avery that if she would go potty for 20 days (not consecutive) with no accidents she would take her to Build-A-Bear. Aunt Lacey took Avery to the computer and let her look at all of the bears on their website and pick her very favorite one. Lacey used a picture of the bear and made Avery a chart to mark her progress on. Well a few weeks ago Avery finally met that goal. We are so proud of her!

Grandma Call loaded Avery in the car and took her to the mall. I met them there so I could be a part of the fun too.

Avery already knew which bear she wanted so that part was really easy. She pulled the bear out of the bin and hugged it so tight.

She took it over to one of the employees to stuff it. She pushed the black peddle with her foot to start the machine.

The employee handed Avery a small red heart so that she could give it her love before putting it inside the bear. She rubbed it between her hands and blew on it to make it warm and then gave it a kiss.

She put the heart into the bear.

When the bear was all stuffed she took it over to give it a shower (an air shower).

Aunt Lacey put some of the sunglasses made for the bears on Kaden. Doesn’t he look cute?!?

Choosing which bear she wanted was easy. Choosing the outfit for the bear, however, was a lot more difficult. Avery had tried several outfits on the bear before finally choosing the one she wanted. When the bear was all dressed it was time to pick some accessories for it. Avery chose a blow dryer (it really works), a brush, and a mirror.

When her bear was all dressed and accessorized we went over to the computers and put in her bears information and made it a birth certificate. We then went to the counter to pay for the bear. The employee at the counter gave Avery two purple bows for her new bear’s ears. Avery had a great time. Thanks Grandma Call for taking Avery to build her bear. She loves it so much and takes it everywhere with us!
