Today we went to the mall with Grandpa to see Santa Claus. Malia took a long time telling him exactly what she wanted. . . of course, neither of us (me OR Santa) could understand what she said, but at least she got the drift. She was surprisingly happy and comfortable with the somewhat scary older man and was even happier when he gave her a lollipop afterward.
After we saw Santa we went to the Build-a-Bear Workshop! It was our first time there and Malia LOVED it.
After choosing her bear, she picked a "sound" (Brahms Lullaby), filled it with fluff and put a heart inside.
Then she gave it a bath! She was very thorough.
Malia and her Papa
I know we're probably the last ones to hear about this place, but if you haven't gone yet - it's pretty fun. Plus, it's not too pricey - the cheapest bear is $10 (which is what we picked and is very cute) and the most expensive is $20. The whole thing lasts about 10 minutes, but I think going through the whole process makes the stuffed animal more dear to kids. Malia hugged it tightly till we left and at this moment she is hugging it in her sleep. It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Thanks Papa!
