rootofnewt | ronan visits santa

Well, Ronan has already developed stranger anxiety. He's best first thing in the morning, so we went to the Mall yesterday to see Santa (we were still in NJ). He was rather dubious about the whole thing and kept looking up at Santa and fussing. I didn't let him get really upset. He was just confused. I was thrilled with this stoic picture. It's much better than the grimaces the salesladies were trying to steer me toward. Hello! I'm not that kinda mom! I don't think crying pics are funny!

In retrospect, I should've thrown him in the air a few times before handing him to Santa. He'd have still been grinning then.
