Buns comes to life

This week we stopped by our local Build A Bear to add a new addition before our store in Columbia relocated. Alex is in love with any stuffed fury animal. He is fully aware that we our the ones making the animals come to life, but he is still is delighted to see them jump up and down.

In full disclosure I had  every intention of picking the cutest stuffed animal in the line that matched his safari themed room. Preferably a lion, monkey, etc. I mean he's only one year old, you would think all of the animals would be the same.

 No. Alex grabs the ugliest bunny imaginable and proceeds to slob all over it. Clearly this beasty rabbit had to be a mistake. I tried to have him repick by presenting other viable and more presentable options and even hiding the bunny, but he still reached out for the rabbit. The rabbit moved from hand to hand and was chosen again every other contender. The decision was made there was nothing left to do but stuff him and name him Buns.

I was really amazed that he has such a strong personality  already. Maybe that mom wasnt lying when she told me her son picked out  those tie dyed blue shorts?  He's only one but I feel like he's suddently a full individual already. Weird.
