Yesterday I got Henry dressed and all pumped up to see Santa at the mall after we picked Dad up from work. He was so excited and kept telling me "I ask a BIG dino-sore!" and "I see Santa and sit in his wap"
He looks ready, right?
He looks ready, right?Wrong. He saw Santa coming up from the food court after a break and instantly I could feel his little legs tense up around my waist. Santa reached out to touch him and Henry screamed in his face!
After a little coaxing Henry agreed to stand next to him without Rob or myself with him, but there was no way he was getting in his lap. Finally it dawned on me to let Henry play with Rob's phone and show Santa the fishies that he loves on it.
By the end of it they were not friends, but Henry did ask for a big dinosaur, gave a high five, and said thank you so much for the sucker.
