Big Day at Build a Bear

I write this post five months after the fact and they are STILL talking about "going back to Build a Bear with Oma."

Fill it up


Give it a hug

Put its heart on your forward and make a wish (?)

Give it a bath

Then spend approximately 10 HOURS picking out the clothes and accessories...




Thanks Oma!!

Preschool Graduation

Hard to believe his kid took 31 hours to get into the world and then the next 5 years went by in what felt like 5 minutes. James "graduated" from preschool in June. In classic James fashion, he had to wear his "dude belt" and "cool guy sunglasses." Thankfully, he removed them before the graduation performance where James hammed it up, sang only half the songs, gave us about 1,000 thumbs-up, and did an astonishingly good version of "the robot powers down" (not a part of the performance). I chose not to be embarrassed, but to laugh hysterically throughout.
