This weekend Hannah was invited to Maddie's Birthday party at the Build-a-Bear Workshop. All of the kids got to choose any animal they wanted. As part of the party all of the kids would get to choose the animal they wanted to make, choose an outfit to dress it in, stuff it, bathe it, and take it home :-)
Hannah had her eye on a bright blue bear with lime green, red, and orange peace signs on it. Luckily I was able to talk her out of it and with Tyler and Carter's help she chose a new one. Of course they persueded her into choosing a monkey...I wasn't about to complain about that choice. I feel really guilty that I did't let her get the one she really wanted but I wasn't about to let Stacey spend that kind of money on a stuffed animal that I would secretly want to throw away when nobody was looking. Luckily as Soda came alive she became really attached. She had a blast picking out a pink vest with ruffles and a pair of silver sunglasses for Soda. She got to step on the peddle of the stuffing machine and once Soda was complete she got to bring her to the bath tub to give her an air bath.
Since Soda's arrival she has been taken for stroller rides, watched Dora and Deigo, has been chewed on by Hailey, and sleeps with Hannah (nap time and bed time). She is adjusting well to her new life and I think she is going to settle in just fine here.

I understand your concern about the ugly bear, but still :P Shame! haha That's adorable though--and isn't Soda the name of another doll?? Every doll (monkey) is now soda? ;)I love it....
oh mommy, when she is big you'd better delete this post! what girl wouldn't want neon colored peace signs all over her teddy bear?
This was a cool idea for a birthday party. Won't she feel very "attached" to Soda because she was involved in making her:! Yeah! Maybe Soda is really Sota for Minnesota?!
