We went to see Santa!! Aaron did a GREAT job! We have been prepping him and training him for weeks, and at first, he said he did not want to see Santa, and thought that the letter he wrote with Courtney should be enough. But then, he decided he wanted another toy, a Bumblebee Transformer. Since he didn’t include it in his letter, we told him that Santa wouldn’t know he wanted it unless he went to see him and tell him about it. :)
Eventually he changed his mind and decided he was excited to see Santa and so for the past few weeks he has been saying he wants to ask Santa for a tri-level garage for cars, one that has an elevator, a Bumblebee Transformer and books about Rudolph. When we finally got there, he panicked the second he saw him, even thought he had been so excited leading up to it. Thankfully, Aaron will go anywhere his Dad leads, so he walked right up to Santa while holding Chris’ hand. At first he just stood right in front of Santa and said, in a rehearsed kind of way, the three gifts he wanted, without even telling Santa his name! It went like this":
Chris: “Aaron say hi to Santa”
Santa: “Hello there! What’s your name?”
Aaron: “I want a garage for cars”
Chris: “Aaron, tell Santa your name.”
Santa: “Well hello Aaron”
Aaron: “and a Bumblebee Transformer”
Chris: “Aaron, you didn’t even say hello!”
Aaron: “and books about Rudolph"
Santa: “Well that sounds like a pretty good list!”
Then, Santa took out his Night Before Christmas book, the same one he took out last year to try to entice Aaron to come close enough for a picture. This year, it worked. :)
So proud of my little man!
