Build A Bear

Rett, Cullie , and I were leaving Myrtle Beach and decided to stop at Build A Bear. I think this store is a great concept and try to steer Rett away every time we are near one. I am still in shock as to how we can go in to a place and spend $50.00 on a teddy bear. Rett did very well on our short trip so it was a "prize" for her being so good.

The store was packed. I decided to let them walk in while I walked around and checked out a few other stores. As I walk back in I see Rett has picked out her bear. Of course she picked out the Frozen themed bear "Ana". She was so excited and ready for the experience to start. As we are sitting in line I remember on Rett's due date we went to Build A Bear. Cullie and I picked out the bear and had it ready for Rett's arrival. I thought to myself Levins needs a bear too.

I looked down at Rett and asked if she wanted to pick Levins out a bear too. Her face lit up. She was so excited to make her a bear too. Of course she picked out the "Elsa" bear.

I hope reading this blog you will somehow see Rett and the tiny terror that she is, but also see how sweet she is. She amazes me on a daily basis. She is going to be a great sister. She will care for Levins and also stick up for her. She has big shoes to fill being the older sister and I know she will handle it fine. I find myself worried about what their relationship is going to be like. I worry if Levins is blessed with an extra chromosome, how will that effect their relationship. I think my worries were answered in a line at Build A Bear. Rett and Levins will have a relationship that most will envy. They will be best friends for life. I feel bad I ever doubted how their relationship was going to be. Levins is Rett's baby sister. She will love her unconditionally. She will teach her to walk, jump on her trampoline, put on make up (this kills me), paint her toes, play sports, work her ipad, and play dress up. The innocence and love of a child has taught me so much.
