On Tuesday night we took the girls to see Santa. Despite the serious look on her face, Allison did very well with Santa. We had been telling her that when she meets Santa she had to introduce him to Amelia, since Mia was just a baby last year. Sure enough, as soon as we got the kids out of the stroller, she marched right up to him, all the while pointing to Amelia. She took her job very seriously.
We thought this might be our only chance of her not having a meltdown and crying when it came to sitting on his lap. Don't get me wrong - Allison loves Santa...from a safe distance. She just loves to wave to him whether he is at the mall, in books, or on cans of Coke in the fridge (yes, she waves to the can of pop).
Amelia did great with Santa; she was actually laughing. We got a cute picture of her from the photo people at the mall. After they sat on his lap, we tried to get Allison to talk to him. She just stared at him. However he did score brownie points when he let her pick out a candy cane. Amelia was fascinated by him.
