Build-A-Monkey

We wanted to do something special as a family for Simon's first birthday, but activities for a 1-year old are limited (especially for a 1-year old who still naps every 3 hours during the day!). We decided to go to the Build-a-Bear workshop in Bayshore, which we figured would provide entertainment and a lasting gift in one shot. In honour of our new little climber and to make it reflective of Simon's first birthday theme, we choose a monkey carcass to turn into a cuddly animal. Simon was tired and spent most of the time cuddled up to his daddy when he wasn't trying to eat fluff off of the floor. The whole experience was cute and something that Simon would definitely enjoy more when he's older but we got some cute pictures and Simon loves having some company in his crib; he spends the first few minutes of the day telling his monkey about his dreams and the last few minutes before falling asleep chatting about what he did at daycare.
