Build A Bear

OK this has to be the best activity we did the whole time we were with Jason!! The hotel we were at was right next to the mall. So we took the girls clothes shopping and saw that they had a Build A Bear!!! We don't have one near us. When I saw that they do voice chips I knew we had to do this for Cameron!! We spent allot of time figuring out different ways to make this separation easier. This will be perfect!!

Another small bit of back story. Cameron's favorite book is 'Going on a Bear Hunt' Jason read it to him every night before bed. So when we knew we were going to get Cameron a bear it worked out that Jason read the first few lines of Cameron favorite book. So when Cameron pushes the button on the bear it has Jason reading 'We're going on a bear hunt we're going to catch a big one what a beautiful day we're not scared' Cameron LOVES it!!

But let's start building the bear!

Picking out our friend.

Playing dead! LOL

No screaming no head banging but he likes to do this when things aren't going his way. He didn't quite get why we were making him do this.

He makes me laugh.

Stuffing the bear! Now he is finding this fun!!

Picking out our bears heart! It was so cute he kissed the heart before he gave it to her but of course we couldn't capture that moment!!

Washing our bear!!

Picking out the bears outfit. When we went in we were going to dress it as a military bear but Jason wasn't to excited about the uniform they had. So we kept it simple with shorts and a t-shirt. Daddy has been known to wear those too.

At the dressing room.

Making it's birth certificate. Cameron named him all by himself. It is affectionately known as Daddy Bear.

So sweet!!

The girl told us that the voice chip was good for about 1000 plays. We actually got nervous after 2 days!! LOL Cameron loves to hear his Daddy's voice. And even though it has been a couple of weeks since we made Daddy Bear Cameron still loves to listen to it. Which is thanks enough to us for taking him and getting the bear made!
