With many thanks to Great Great Aunt Ruth, we experienced the Build-A-Bear workshop for the first time today. Meghan LOVED it!!! (plus it was fairly quick, organized and not painful for us).
Step Two: (optional) Pick a sound or a heart beat - Meghan picked a bark
Step Three: Stuff it
Step Four: Make sure it passes the hug test
Step Six: Meghan's favourite step - give it a bath and a brush
Step Seven: optional - dress it
Then voila, Meghan has a new best friend.
Step Eight: give her a name and register her - Meghan called this dog Daisy.
Step Nine: Take her home - she came with an awesome doll house box that Meghan can colour, a birth certificate, a play code for the bearville online world, and an Easter basket
