if my kids have one thing, it's beautiful aunts and (ok, handsome) uncles who love them. lucky kids.

aunt rara took aiden & brady to build-a-bear when colin was about 4 days old. i especially remember because it was the day i came home from the hospital with colin. highly emotional naturally from just having my third son and missing my other boys terribly, in they walk carrying big brother bears. dim the lights, signal postpartum tears.

exactly 3 years later auntie doreen took colin there today.

luckily these were stuffed already otherwise i may not have been able to talk col out of the winged one.

the colors were a nightmare to photograph, the music was just as loud. after playing w them i can't decide which i like best so i give you them all.

on the way over colin mentioned he wanted one that talked. i tried explaining that i was pretty sure there were no talking bears but he was insisting "maybe" there were. turns out he was right. we had a boy's voice saying who knows what (music loud) thrown in.

im way more indecisive than he is deciding what i'm going to wear in the mornings but col went from construction hat, to rangers shirt, to army guy pretty quick. all the while insisting on underwears. gotta give it to BAB for having undies for the target audience.

super fun. thanks auntie dor.
