An Addition to Our Family


Meet Bunnie, Abigail's new bunny. I had a Build-A-Bear gift card, so Robby and I decided to let Abigail make a new furry friend for Easter, and we thought that this week would really be the only chance (CHANCE!) that we had before Easter to get it done. Abigail was much more active in the process than she was when we built Ada (a bear she made at almost 11 months old). We let her choose the animal and the outfit. She delighted in pushing the pedal to stuff it and wanted to give it its first bath by herself. Bunnie is incredibly soft and she is wearing a beautiful Easter dress! We had a lot of fun at the Build-A-Bear Workshop; I only wish that we would have picked up an Easter dress for Ada, too!

We were very excited about letting Abigail play with it immediately, but lo and behold, as soon as we left BABW, we got a call from the Easter Bunny himself. He told us that Bunnie was too little to play, and needed to go visit him until Easter to grow and learn how to be a good friend. As sad as we were, we felt that since it pertained to Bunnie's well being, we had to comply with the Easter Bunny's wishes. He promises to have her back on Easter, though, and that she will be more than ready to play with Abigail!
