"Sa"

So the Santa visit went better than expected! There was only about a 1/2 hour line up and Darren was able to take Matthew for a walk while I waited in line. When we got closer to the front, we kept making funny faces and getting Matthew to laugh and then pointing out Santa and showing how all the kids were sitting on his knee.

Just before our turn, we met "Lucky" the elf, Matthew all of a sudden got a bit shy and we got worried as he started to bury his head into Mommy and hide his eyes... but then Lucky showed Matthew how his nose goes "beep beep" just like Matthew's and Mommy's and Daddy's and Lucky became Matthew's new best friend.

So, when it came time to meet the big guy, Mommy whispered "Santa, does your nose go beep beep?" Santa showed Matthew that his nose goes beep beep too and Matthew thought he was an ok dude.

Since you only get two cracks at a photo, we got lucky!



Matthew also had a lot of fun walking the mall and seeing all of the decorations. He was such a good boy and it was quite late when we got home (9 pm) but still he didn't even complain.

When I got home tonight, the first thing he said to me was "ca". "Car?" I asked "Ca, Da" said Matthew... "Oh!" I said, "you want to go with Daddy in the car? Where do you want to go?" "Ca Da Sa", said Matthew. "You want to go see Santa!?!" At this point I was quite amazed he even remembered who Santa was!

But remember he did indeed. All night tonight he keeps saying "sa" and when you ask "Santa"? he nods yep. When he saw his picture tonight, he pointed and said "sa" So, I guess we'll have to make him a copy of the picture with his new best friend too!

What an incredible picture. He's such a cutie! Don't you just want to bit those cheeks! Wait to you see the one of Max and "Sa". It's so very sad and so very funny at the same time. I think we will have to go and try a redo somewhere else!
