repeat performance

We went to a little Christmas party over the weekend (the same one as last year), and I had high hopes that Malcolm would warm up to Santa and pose for a picture all by himself this time around ...

No such luck.


(Although, to be fair, we did get a cute, but cheesy, smile out of him.)

No, Malcolm still wasn't excited to see Santa.

But he was excited about the preschool area that was set-up in the next room ...

Long-sleeved Shirt: Faded Glory (thrifted for $1.00)
Khaki pants: Cherokee (hand-me-down)
Socks: Circo ($1.00)
Shoes: Stride Rite (thrifted for $2.00)

It's funny what a two-year-old deems as "fun" and worthy of genuine smiles.

If only Santa could garner the same effect!

Maybe next year ...
