Santa

So, Parker has been so into Santa this year, because he really wants a jeep- a big remote control jeep. So, we told him that he needed to ask Santa, and we actually saw Santa at Macey's and Parker told him he wanted a jeep and he was a really nice Santa and Parker was so excited to have seen him. Well, I decided to take him to Thanksgiving Point where I was told that they had a really good Santa and it was $2.00 for a picture with him and it should be a good experience. So, I got there just a little before 6- (it was a 6-8 thing) and the line didn't look too bad, til you got to the actual room and then the line was a lot longer looking. Mind you Parker wanted me to hold him the entire time, so here I am 11 days away from my due date, holding my 3 year old for 50 minutes in line- But he was all excited so it was ok, I did have to set him down a couple of times, but basically held him the whole time. Anyway, we get up there and we are waiting for our turn, Parker is all excited (once he noted that he didn't like this Santa cause he didn't have a hat, but I told him that the hat was too hot and his head needed to cool off, and that seemed to work) so the lady was asking Parker if he was going to tell Santa what he wanted and he was all, ya, a jeep, etc so we go up to see Santa and Parker FREAKS out. He starts crying, backing away, etc. It was awful, and part of me was like I waited in line for THIS?!? So I am trying to help console Parker, get him to talk to Santa, and Santa was really nice and I mentioned a jeep, and so Santa was like, we make lots of jeeps, what color do you want? And Parker said through the tears- Red, and we took a picture, which mind you I was NOT planning in being so I looked quite awful, Parker is clinging on to me for dear life and the only one who looks good in the picture is Santa, so no, I will NOT be showing that picture. :) Then it was time to go, Parker said Bye, and he was fine after that. So, we went outside where they had some of Santa's reindeer and Parker was all smiles for the camera.
