Wordful Wednesday - Introducing Rainbow Dash

I meant to post these last week after I wrote about Lily's new pony she made at Build a Bear, but got sidetracked. 

The night before we went to build her pony she set up her stuffed animals like this in the living room.  She even put her lalaloopsy's in there, too.  (bottom right)  And I just realized the cat is sitting on the table with the rest of the stuffed animals.  ;)

She told me that she was doing this to introduce Rainbow Dash to the rest of the gang.  (Yes, my daughter has a stuffed animal obsession.)

Lily put the rabbit ears on her new friend and then went through each stuffed animal and introduced them to Rainbow Dash.  I wish I would have video taped it because it was pretty cute.

Wordful Wednesday - Lily's New Pony

On Saturday we went to Build a Bear for a My Little Pony party.

While waiting Lily made friends.

This is what big brother's do while waiting.  :)

 She had been talking about making her pony all week. 

She chose to make Rainbow Dash.

I was a sucker and said yes to the "music".  ;)

While they waited patiently to get their ponies stuffed, they brushed their pony's hair, played a pony trivia game, colored and made some cutie marks with hearts. 

I hope they come out with more ponies to make.  Lily absolutely LOVES her's. 

Lily had a great time and has been carrying her pony around all week.

With that said....for the future though we will not go to one of build a bear 'just for fun' parties.  With having reservations and only taking a few kids, I thought they would have had or done something more special than make a bunch of young kids wait and hand out poorly cut printed paper bracelets to color.  That part was pretty lame.  We really wouldn't have missed anything by going and making our pony during the week.  Just my thoughts on the whole thing.  (This is NOT a sponsored post, build a bear does not know who I am.  These are just my own opinions.)

YAY!

Yesterday Lily & I had a mommy & me day.  Our whole family went to the mall and while daddy & Ian went to the movies to see Gi Joe, Lily & I hung out and shopped.  We had such a great time together.  It's something I haven't done in a while and I am so glad I did.  Lily kept repeating she was having a great time just us 'girls'.  

We checked out lots of stores and when we went into Build A Bear (which was a zoo) we saw these 2 My Little Ponies sitting on the checkout counter.

Turns out our store here in Buffalo is having a My Little Pony Party next Saturday.  Lily is beyond excited!!  I signed her up (you have to RSVP to attend) and she can not wait to make a Rainbow Dash.  (That is the one she decided she wants to make.)

I guess not all stores are having the My Little Pony party.  I called my sister and her's isn't (she lives outside of Pittsburgh).  The stores are selling the ponies beginning April 1st.
