The making of Fiddle Fred

We took Stratton to Build-A-Bear Friday night so that he could create his very own “Fiddle Fred”. It didn’t take him long to decide he wanted the horse. There was even a Kermit the frog I really thought he would probably go for, but nope he wanted the horse! I was surprised how shy he was this time with the workers. The last time he got to visit BAB he was really into it, but this time he didn’t seem as interested in the “process”. Well not until they got him stuffed and sewed up, then he liked giving the horse a bath. He picked out a green John Deere shirt for his horse to wear. . . not surprisingly! Then when we went to check out the lady questioned the name, I think she thought that we made it up for him. Then I said “Stratton, tell the lady what your horse’s name is” and he clearly said “Fiddle Fred!” . Then you could tell she was surprised and said “Oh, ok! I have never heard that one!”. Haha! Yes, lady we know he’s got some kind of imagination!
