I was quite surprised when Christina picked out the Hello Kitty toy (she knows nothing about the Hello Kitty brand - I don't think she's ever seen anything Hello Kitty before), and despite all other suggestions, the Hello Kitty was the one she wanted!
Then we went over to the the stuffing station, where Christina got to watch the gal fill up her kitty with stuffing, and she got to pick out a heart to put in her kitty.
Next, it was time to give the kitty a "bath." The bath station blew air when you turned it on, and Christina thought that was a bit too loud, so she settled for brushing kitty's fur.
Now it was time to pick out an outfit for kitty. Christina picked out a Disney Princess shirt right away, and Grandpa Larry helped her pick out a denim skirt to go with it. At first, Christina wanted her kitty to wear ice skates ("just like Daddy"), but then she decided against it. She also went back and forth on whether her kitty should have a purse, and she eventually decided against it. But Grandpa Larry did convince her to get a matching Hello Kitty chair and Hello Kitty slippers.
Then Christina sat down at the computer, and I helped her fill out all of the information for her kitty's "birth certificate." Christina couldn't decide what to name her new kitty, and Grandpa Larry came up with the name Snowflake, which Christina really liked.
The great thing about Build-A-Bear is that if you ever lose your toy and someone returns it to a Build-A-Bear store, they can open up the toy's stitching in the back and get out the barcode, which, when scanned, will tell them your information, so they can get your toy back to you! So, for future reference, if you ever find a Build-A-Bear toy somewhere, just return it to the nearest Build-A-Bear store, and they'll get it back to the owner!
Once the birth certificate was printed out, we got checked out, and Christina decided to stop by the fountain on the way back through the mall. All in all, we had a great time, and Christina just loves Snowflake!
