Build-A-Bear

Preschool started late this year, like the week after Labor Day late.  I don't know who was more ready for school to start, Jake or his momma.  I'd be willing to bet it was me though!  My sweet friend, Sara, and Ruby made plans to head to Build-A-Bear one morning and I decided that it was a great idea.  I love that place and have been waiting for the perfect time to take Jake.  
Well, the perfect time was NOT that day!  :)  
I assumed that he was at a good age to go.  Assumed he would love picking out a stuffed animal, filling it, dressing it, naming it, yada yada yada.  He has never had a stuffed animal before that he loved so it was a good time to go.  
Well I assumed wrong!  
Yall, my child COULD. HAVE. CARED.  LESS!  
It was really quite hilarious how unamused he was.  All he (and Pierce) wanted to do was chase each other around the store, digging through the basket of hearts that actually beat.  I was just trying to keep the store from being destroyed.  I knew the moment we walked in that it was going to be a WAY different experience than what I had pictured in my head.

And I should mention, that sweet sweet Ruby LOVED every moment of being in that store.  Picking her animal out with such care, filling it with such love.  I adore that girl!  She kept telling Jake, "Jake, you better pay attention"- ha!  She is, without a doubt, his second mother!  :)

Anyways, I left exhausted and sweating but laughing at what had just gone down.  I have a feeling that we won't be back for awhile, if ever.  
Regardless, it was a memory I don't want to forget!

From the looks of the pictures you would think he had a great time ...



isn't that the cutest little face?  (no, not his!)
