Santa Visit

Soon as we got downstairs Declan ran to his Advent Calendar to open "number 4!"
He now has a bar stand with two mugs and a pie.


And today was easier. He really wanted to go ahead and open day five but there were no tears when I said no. Progress.

Later in the morning I saw a post on Auntie T's Facebook page of a Christmas Minions Video so I showed it to Declan. He had me play it 9 times. Then asked to watch Despicable Me so we could get in some more Minion entertainment. (Side note-he had me show it to him another six times this evening.)


Then this afternoon after nap time we had a visit with Santa. Declan did great. He was excited to see the decorations and Santa. He was a little shy of being too close or alone but right away he gave Santa a high five and fist bump. He got in sortof close and told Santa that he wanted Lego for Christmas and that he'd been a good boy. Santa asked if he'd be leaving out cookies and milk and a carrot for Rudolph. Declan said "no". We got our Santa picture. Yes "We". See when a small child doesn't want to sit alone with Santa you have to be strategic.






I think he made a good impression on Santa and he was so happy.
