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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Katherine had a great time, and ended up with a dark brown bear named Sid, who wears a loud Hawaiian shirt.<\/p>\n

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 <\/i>bear.” Which, with her enunciation, came out “Sid Bear.” So Sid it was, and she seems to have picked up on the concept.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
