Well, it seems to have been quite a great idea, for in the last month or so we have repeated the experience three more times.
First we took Isaiah for his third birthday - he chose a monkey - named him Bob - dressed him in a soccer uniform. (The picture is grainy because Grandma ((& Grandpa)) had a senior moment & forgot the camera, so we took pix with my cellphone - not great quality).
Next we took Malcolm for his fourth birthday - he chose a panda - named him Jungle - dressed him in a basketball uniform. The decision was helped by not wanting to duplicate anything his cousins had already chosen.
Today we took Sabrina for her sixth birthday - she chose the "enchanted Pony" - named her Shine - and since the dresses did not fit a pegasus very well, Sabrina dressed her entirely in accessories (my kind of girl!)
We've had such a good time with each of the kidlets; most of our times together involve the whole family, so it's been very special to spend one on one time with each of them - building and dressing their new stuffies & then going out for lunch.
Only one trip left - Olivia has to wait patiently until July! I always think anticipation is half the fun. Do children feel that way too?
