This year is no different.
This peculiar idea of wanting to give Adri a keepsake each year came from eh-hem, yours truly. I thought it would be meaningful to have the bears 'grow' with her! While Adri grows in age, the bears will grow in numbers! Well, this 'tradition' started only when Adri was two and not one simply because we thought that a one-year-old Adri wasn't quite ready to make choices of such nature n she probably wouldn't appreciate the process of making a bear at one.
We pass by Build-A-Bear very often and somehow, though always excited and amazed, Adri always knew that she would only get to make a bear each year and that would be on her birthday (that's our way of making this 'tradition' significant) and she never did ask to make a bear on 'normal' days.
Come her birthday, however, she would excitedly remind us of the significant event! Adri got to make her bear today!
Adri has three bears thus far. At 2 years of age, she chose a brown bear. At 3, Adri chose a blue bear. At 4, Adri chose a bright pink bear!
