And Sam is excited. Today I primed the excitement by taking him to an Easter egg hunt at Vermont Teddy Bear. When we got there, we spotted this guy:
Aw, he's so cute! Sam, though, did whatever he could to stay away from him, even hiding behind me.
Oh how I would have loved to get a picture as good as the one from when he was two and we happened upon the Easter Bunny, but he's too big to bunny-handl now.
There was a pretty standard egg hunt where he got some candy that he decided he wouldn't eat; he wanted to wait until tomorrow because that's really Easter. Who is this child?
After the hunt we went inside and watched people making bears. Sam asked for one and I realized that I'd never gotten him a stuffed animal of any type. Sam selected a Holstein-spotted bear. Sam added a heart and then the woman helped Sam fill the bear with bear guts.
After the bear was stuffed, he was sewn up. Here the woman asked Sam if he wanted to cut the umbilical cord. I chuckled, he was nonplussed but complied.
Sam filled out the bear's birth certificate. What you can't see here is that he named his bear Ronan, after his friend, although at first he wanted to call him Sam.
Then off for a tour of the factory. Nothing too exciting here but they've got this on display. It's HUGE!
Then it's home with a bear in a box.
Isn't he cute?

I can't beleive he hadn't done build-a-bear before! WHere was this bear last night?!
I'm not sure where he is. Sam made a bed for him out of a cardboard box and somehow or other misplaced him. He hasn't been spotted in these parts since yesterday morning....
