Build-A-Bear, or Dog


On Clara's actual birthday we took her to Build-A-Bear and out to dinner--quesadillas--at her request. Clara was so excited when we got in the store, she just ran from display to display looking at everything. It took us a while for to get her focused enough to pick out an animal. She finally chose a dog. While we were getting it stuffed, the employee asked Clara what her dog's name was and after a little thought she said, "Gilbert." The employee asked her, "Is your dog a boy?" Clara said, "No, it's a girl." She had fun giving her dog a bath (multiple times) and picking out clothes. When we were leaving the store, Clara told Ben that she got a little flag for her dog. When Ben asked if he could look in her box she said, "No, you may not." After a little talk, we opened up her box and sure enough, she had stashed a little American flag in the box when we weren't looking. :) Ben went back and paid for the flag and then we went to The Sweet Tooth Fairy to get Clara a birthday cupcake.
