Today we finally made it to build a bear where Savannah and Preston were able to choose an animal to build!  We have been bribing Preston for weeks, okay let's be honest, months, now that if he would start pooping on the potty and stop wetting at nap and bedtime he could go to build a bear.  We were all set to go last week, but he ended up soaking his bed at nap time on Saturday. :(  But he's done an incredible job this week and stayed dry all night most every night so we decided today was the day.  Poor Savannah never got to go when she started staying dry at night (over 3 years ago), so this was sort of a celebration for her too.  We actually just told her that it was because she did great on her summer swim test and had been doing so well in school.

Anyway, Savannah chose a rainbow teddy bear that she name Magical.  Magical is complete with these adorable pink sparkly shoes, bright pink hair bows, and a hand that makes a magical sound when you squeeze it.  Preston choose a bunny which he named Fuzzy.  Fuzzy is complete with a pair of red boxers (where his tail can hang out the back) to represent big boy underwear that Preston so proudly wears now and a hand that giggles when you squeeze it. 

What a fun afternoon it was and an exciting way to celebrate such a big accomplishment for our little Preston!
