In honor of it being both the last week of summer and the week before Ellie's 2nd birthday, I thought it would be fun to take the kids to the mall after G's tennis lesson on Tuesday and visit the Build-a-Bear Workshop and have lunch together.
As we started looking at the bears, it became clear that Ellie isn't really old enough to make good decisions...or really any decisions about what she wants in a bear...lol. She wasn't entirely focused on the process and preferred to sit and play on the computers there.
There was a perfect option for my baby girl though and she managed to find it....
These are called "small frys" - they are already stuffed, but you can get little outfits for them! Ellie picked out this little pink monkey (which perfectly fits with her upcoming birthday party theme!!) and then she started grabbing and tossing outfits for it up onto the checkout counter - it was pretty hillarious.
Big girl got to walk and carry her own bag! She seems pretty happy about the whole thing, don't ya think?! I can't believe she's almost two, but I can't wait to celebrate it this weekend!!
