Trip to Build a Bear (or Cat in our case)

As an early christmas present, my parents took Benjamin to "Build A Bear" at our local mall, to pick out a stuffed animal to make. What a cute place, and one that we will definitely be visiting again, very soon.
I couldn't help but take a picture of him in his cute outfit, next to our tree..

Showing off his cute "winter" accesories, before we got in the car...


MomMom showing Benjamin all the cute choices he had...(I think we will go back and make the Reindeer one that my mom is holding, since Benjamin didn't pick that one)


Benjamin picking to make a cat (that looks like our kitten George, who Benjamin named him after)


Showing off his choice with PopPop


Heading off to stuff the cat, at the "stuffing station"


He opted to let MomMom push the lever


But he did pick out a heart, and kiss it and make a wish, before the nice lady sewed it inside George the cat.

George the cat, even though only minutes old, enjoying his first train ride..


Benjamin also got to ride a real train, (after 2 previous attempts, the 3rd time was a charm) Benjamin would get really excited watching the train go around, and around the tracks, which then lead him to want to ride on the train. The train then would stop, and it would be his turn to get in a car, and with as much excitement as I have seen, he would hop into the train car and then....well....turn around and exclaim, "No, no ride" :(

This went on twice, before MomMom somehow put him in the train car, and without a hesitation he rode the train. :)






And that is all he has been able to talk about since. :)

Showing off George, when we got home..



He also insisted on sleeping with him, (and every night since then).
