A friend of ours from church (that’s the other 10%) was celebrating her birthday, and rather than invite a bunch of adults over, instead invited a bunch of kids of her acquiantance (neighbors, church, etc.), along with their parents, over for a teddy bear building session at the local Build-a-Bear.
Katherine had a great time, and ended up with a dark brown bear named Sid, who wears a loud Hawaiian shirt.
Katherine doesn’t really name her animals and dolls yet. It’s “my baby” or “Snake” or “Bear” or things like that. (“Cthulhu” doesn’t count, being a singular entity.) Sid was an inadvertent name — we were asking her what she was going to name the bear, and she (probably) said, “This bear.” Which, with her enunciation, came out “Sid Bear.” So Sid it was, and she seems to have picked up on the concept.
He looks like a Sid. All he’s missing are the sunglasses and a frosty drink with an umbrella (both of which are probably available as accessories from Build-a-Bear).
