For his fifth birthday, Noah requested that Grandpa & Grandma take him to Build-a-Bear. He had his heart set on a stuffed dinosaur dressed as a policeman. Last Saturday (Halloween) was THE DAY - everyone was healthy & the sun was shining! We had a lovely drive to Coquitlam Centre. We wasted no time finding the workshop; told the hostess that it was Noah's birthday present we were there for, so she loaded him up with birthday stickers; we listened as she explained the whole procedure & showed us where to make our choices; then we let her know that he had already decided that he wanted to make a dinosaur. Her face fell as she told us they haven't had dinosaurs in about two years - don't you think they could update their website occasionally? But all was well, Noah happily changed his mind & decided he wanted a dog instead. Whew!!!
It's serious work stuffing a dog - getting the amount just right...
...Grandma gets to kiss the heart before Noah inserts it...
...and while giving his dog it's airbrushing, Noah gets a sudden inspiration for his new puppy's name. "It's name is Ruffles" he said.
Aww, we have a Ruffles in the family again. sniff sniff
