On Saturday we got Paige dressed up in the coveted sweater-dress and went out for breakfast. We told her at breakfast that we would go to see Santa after. "Santa!" she says all morning. "Do you want to see Santa?" we kept asking her all through breakfast and in the car. "YA" she kept saying. Then we went to the mall and showed her a santa up close. "Do you want to see Santa?", we ask. "No", she says. We waited about 10 minutes and then lined up for Santa. She was fine in the line, and then Mike sat with her on the bench beside santa. He started to ask her some questions, and from my vantage point, she had never looked so cute in her whole life. She was saying "ya" looking up at him and nodding to all of his questions. Mommy was so proud. Then Mike made the move to put her on santa's knee. ..........WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". NOT happy. We had to give up but Santa still gave her a gift. We'll have to try again next year. Mike says that even though she looked really cute answering his questions she was saying ya in a really frantically scared voice.
It was definitely a Christmas learning experience, though. She now relates the word "knee" to Santa, and when we ask "what does santa have?" she says "deer".

Poor little thing. Riley went stiff as a board and fell out of Santa's lap when we took him was he was 1. It was scary for him, but I couldn't stop laughing.
My english sucks. It should read "took him when he was 1."

That's very typical honey...altho our little Paige is anything but!!!!!! Kiss her from Gramma Val
I don't think any little child likes Santa Clause the first time they see him. Show her lots of pictures between now and next year. It will be a whole different experience. I love the sweater dress, no wonder she thinks it is "nice". Love Gramama
