Once upon a time....
not so very long ago,
Princess Bella and I went to a magical place.
No it wasn’t Oklahoma, even though Oklahoma holds many magical treasures for me, and no, it wasn't Disneyland,
even though Princess Bella loves Disneyland.
even though Princess Bella loves Disneyland.
Princess Bella and I, along with her mommy and daddy
of course, went to a far off land called .....
"Build-a-Bear Land"
“Build a Bear”
Has anyone ever been to this wonderous place?
In Build-a-Bear Land
you can spend a king’s ransom on a lovely stuffed friend.
You have many choices….
Bears, dragons, ponies, bunnies and oh so much more.
It is quite hard for a small princess to choose
from such a large assortment
Grandma was quite fond of this one,
and Bella agreed
Well this is no ordinary place to pick out
a new friend...in this place you help make your new friend.
After you choose your new friend... you pick
out a heart. Bella's
friend ended up with two hearts, so she is extra special.
(Bella, like her mommy, knows how to
get her monies worth)
She also got a voicebox that whinnies when you push it.
You then choose if you want your new friend firm
or cuddly. Bella chose cuddly.... and so
the cuddly stuffing is put in by the magical machine
and a little help from Bella's foot.
Next, the special heart goes in...
after of course you kiss it to add love
and rub it on your cheeks
so your new friend knows you inside and out.
and then Bella's favorite part...
it is time to give your new friend a bath.
At this point, grandma could have gotten out
of Build-a-Bear Land and
only paid half of a king's ransom.
But why would she do that?
Instead she bought a little gold skirt, some
fluffy feathery wings, a lovely golden heart necklace,
a princess hat and matching magic wand, all so Bella's
friend would be even more beautiful.
Next, it was time to name the our new friend.
Mommy wanted to name
her Goldie
(which would have been very appropriate)
but Bella and Grandma had a different idea.
We decided on the name
Rosie, because
grandma and Bella both share the name Rose
in their names.
So now,
Rosie Pony does too.
and of course....they
All Lived Happily Ever After ....
