Arthur and Pingo

I took Max to Build-A-Bear today to have him make something for Aspen. Her gift to him was the big boy bike, so he needed something to bring to her in the hospital. I thought a stuffed animal would be cute because I can take her weekly pictures next to it and we can compare how she grows with the bear.
Max of course had to have an animal too, so he picked out a green triceratops dinosaur and named him Arthur. I like that name, don't you?
Then we (mostly me) picked out a bear for Aspen. I thought this one was really cute, with the little patches on it. Max named her Pingo. Wonder where he got that from? Anyways, she's cute. Plus, she's full of love. Max put about 4 of the little hearts in her. Aww!
I've never been to a build-a-bear before. I doubt I will make it a frequent occurance. They have everything you could imagine as far as accesories go for these animals. And for a pretty penny too. I managed to get out of there without having to buy a complete outfit for each. The only thing extra I bought was a little baseball set for Max's dino, Arthur, for an extra $5. Not too bad.

Giving them a bath, checking their heartbeats and blood pressure. I think Pingo even got some blush and lipstick at some point, lol.
