Scared of Santa

December 16, 2009
I thought this year would be different... Pearl might actually want to see Santa Claus. Hopefully next year we might be able to at least walk into the room with the Jolly Ole man seeing as how this year it took me 20 minutes of walking around my building before convincing Pearl to join her friends to see what Santa had brought. At least this year Pearl kept the screaming to a minimum and just clung to me instead. So this picture is as good as you'll get with a frightened two-year old and a prego mom who was just a bit freaked out herself by how much Santa wanted her to sit on his lap. Guess I can't blame Pearl after all, I was kind of weirded out myself afterwards.

We never do the picture with Santa thing for this very reason. Standing in long lines when you are hot and tired, then the kids just screaming once you get up there anyway. I'm such a scrooge!

Good luck with that next year. This was the first year Emma wasn't terrified of the prospect - and she's 5. Johnathan at 3.5 was still too scared to go near him!
