Melanie and Joel got Jakub a very excellent Christmas present this year: A Build-a-Bear! They gave him a gift certificate and took him through the store to select his own custom bear skin and clothing. There was so much selection! He wanted to go for a dinosaur theme first, then he got fixated on pink dancing shoes, until finally he saw the butterfly wings that he settled on. The bear even came in a nice keeper-box, which made a perfect cocoon.

For the next few days Jakub and the bear were inseparable. This video is Jakub showing off his bear and giving a big Thank You to Melanie and Joel.
