A Love/Hate Relationship



This child loves Santa. He talks about him all day long. He calls him on his phone and rattles through his list of wants: 'canny', wheeler, airplane, and helicopter. Every time I deny his constant requests for candy, he responds with Santa Clause. If we are ever out of something around the house: batteries, bananas, milk--he immediately tells me he will ask Santa for it. Poor guy, thinks every day is Christmas and is having a hard time understanding the countdown. Regardless though, he has a strong desire to like the beloved Santa Claus. However, his sweet desire has not yet become a reality. He wants so badly to like him in person. He asks to go see him over and over again only to find he is terrified once he gets close enough to realize what he has asked for. He screamed and cried last year as well. Maybe we will have better luck when he is 3. :)

Caroline doesn't cry...she just shakes and is equally terrified as David. What is it with these two?
