Build A Bear

Grace went to Build A Bear at Mall of America today. She immediately said she wanted the monkey (most appropriate!)


She picked out a heart to put in her monkey.


Grace and Mommy ran the foot petal that filled her monkey with stuffing.


We chose minimal stuffing to make him floppy!


Grace gave him an air bath to fluff his monkey fur. Then she combed him.


After 20 minutes of trying to decide how to dress him we finally settled on a pink and white t-shirt. It's what all the cool monkeys are wearing these days! Last we made him a birth certificate. His name is Ehh- Ehh (the monkey noise is all Grace would say when it came time to name him so that's what's on his birth certificate!)


Grace and Ehh-Ehh slept the next few hours... That was hard work!
