On Valentine's Day, I found my new True Love! Her name is Tia the Turtle! For my birthday, Uncle Eric sent me a gift card to the "Build A Bear" store. We hadn't gone yet, so since Valentine's Day was a Saturday, our family went out shopping. Build A Bear is quite the place! First you have to pick out the stuffed animal you want to create. My parents asked me which I wanted - but I couldn't decide. So finally Dad chose for me - a green turtle. The shell comes off like a backpack!
The next step - you stand on a button which makes this giant machine twirl cotton around! And a kind lady uses that fleshly "fluffed" cotton to stuff my new Turtle!
After the animal gets stuffed, I got to grab a red satin heart and put it inside! My turtle is special - she got TWO hearts!
After you put in the heart, the kind lady stitched up my Turtle. And then we had to "fluff" up the fur. I know real Turtles don't have fur, but a stuffed animal turtle one does. These were were like giant hair blowers! And I had a hair brush to fluff up the fur.
Then we went over to the "Dressing Room" where I had the toughest choice of my life - picking out clothing and accessories! At this point I didn't know if I wanted a boy or a girl turtle. But it was decided pretty quick when I picked out on my own a pink striped tank top and a jean skirt! And then I saw something that my Turtle just HAD to have - a pink stroller!!
I couldn't wait to put my Turtle in her new stroller. But Mom told me I still had some money to spend on my gift card. So then I went over to the shoes and picked out some Sketchers! I did a great job stylizing my Turtle!
The last step in the process was to register online your new pet. Mom and Dad were going to skip this part - so I did it for them.
After we gave the kind lady our gift card, we all bundled back up in our coats to come back home. Instead of making me get into my own stroller, my parents let me walk all the way back to the car pushing my new Turtle in her stroller!
After we got home, Mom asked me what I wanted to name my Turtle. So I told her. I am not sure if Mom understand me, but I said something that sounded like "Tia." So Mom said, "Alright your Turtle is named Tia!" And I screamed out, "YEAH!!" and then did a happy dance (this is my new thing. I start singing and dancing when I get happy.) Here I am with Tia the Turtle - we put all her new clothes on her. And I'm doing my "SMILE" my fake smile for the camera.
Mom told me she wanted a real smile, so I gave her one of those too... I love Tia the Turtle!! THANK YOU UNCLE ERIC!!!!!!
