Build-A-Bear

We took Max to Build-A-Bear today. He went once around this time last year and I think he enjoyed it more then. Today he was a little scared of the machine that "feeds" the bears or in our case, the monkey. He wasnted no part of stuffing the monkey or giving his new toy a bath - he preferred to stand back by the door and cry. Daddy and I enjoyed ourselves though :-) Once we had the finished product, complete with monkey sound effects, he was good to go. Then Santa Claus walked in and the freak out started all over again! Santa was fine at a distance, but Max had no desire to get close to him at all. At least now we know he doesn't want to sit on Santa's lap this year, we can save ourselves the time and trouble of standing in the long lines!
