Addison's Special Day

About two weeks after Caleb was born and it was just the four of us at home, we wanted to take Addison to do something special, just for her and just about her.  We wanted to reaffirm to her that she is still special and loved, especially very soon after Caleb was born.  We knew Chick-Fil-A would have to be included in Addison's Special Day because she loves to eat there, loves to dip her food, loves to play in the indoor play place and loves to "see the cows".  After thinking long and hard we decided to give build a bear a whirl.

Addison picked out a cat to make and although she was a little timid about the whole thing, she enjoyed it---especially brushing and bathing her new stuffed cat.  We named her...Joy Cat!!!  It was a fun day for all of us.  She loves picking up her cat and pressing the button in her hand to hear Daddy talk (we recorded him on it).  She grins every time she plays with it.  And we are excited to get her a few little accessories to go with the cat over the next few Christmas' and birthdays!!

 Checking everything out before picking out our stuffed animal.

She picked out the cat!

She helped stuff the cat by stepping on that little pedal.

She is waving at the cat as it gets stuffed.

Getting the cats heart...she LOVES hearts.  It was hard to tear it away from her to put IN the cat!

Bathing and brushing the cat was the best part!

Hugging our new friend!
