Build A Bear

When Jacob was just a wee babe my parents came out to visit us as we were living in FL at the time.  During one of Mom and I's shopping excursions with that new born bundle of sweet baby boy Mom told me once Jacob got to be old enough she would like to treat him to a Build-A-Bear experience.  Five years (and a 1,000 mile move) later she got her wish.  After one of Jacob's t-ball games, just a few days after his 5th birthday, she got to do just that.  He had so much fun picking out his "bear" - which happens to be a puppy actually. 

 Jacob helps stuff the puppy,
he kisses the heart and makes a wish,
he places it in the puppy's chest,
and puppy gets sewn up.

Puppy then gets new clothes (soccer outfit), a name (Tom), and brought home by a little boy who is in love and so proud.  His Momma *may have been proud of him too.
