We got up early and got to Build-A-Bear at 8:30am...just after they opened. I was very concerned that we might be at the store with hundreds of other children who had just received their own gift cards on Christmas morning. We were delighted to find that we were just one of two families in the entire store....plenty of room for Brad to move through the store with Zeke as they picked out an animal...selected his clothes & accessories. It was quite an adventure.
So, Zeke brought a new friend home today named Spotty (he ignored his Daddy's promptings to call him something like Sam or Ralph). Zeke has a fairly predictable way of naming all his stuffed animal friends. If the animal
is a frog..his name is Froggy. If the animal is a chihuahua...his name is Chihuahua-y. This naming process drives Brad nuts. Personally I find this discussion hilarious!
Here are a few pictures from today...

Praise and thanks to our God! So glad to hear it was a great day for you guys. Continued prayers for more and more improvement and healing will not cease.
Brad,
Don't give up on Zeke's naming style. I had a similar system at his age I think (black dog = Blackie), but later evolved into more 'normal' names like Paco and Gus. =)

What a fun day! God has richly blessed you and all of the rest of us as well with Brad's good days this last week. It has truly made it a season of hope.
Love Zeke's Spotty. My very first stuffed animal was a cute little brown bear (not a teddy bear, either). I received it from a great aunt for Christmas, and it became my favorite thing. It holds within it's heart many of my deepest secrets from childhool through the teenage years. And the name of this special, beloved animal who resides on my dresser to this very day? You guessed it -BEARY!!
Cute. :) My favorite was a stuffed lamb. His name? "Yam." I'm pretty sure I was going for "Lamb." I didn't even add a "y" or "ie" to the end.
