HA! What a difference a year makes! When Santa arrived at the park, I figured we would need to work up sitting on his lap. After all the excitement of the arrival and Santa calling out Little Man’s name as he went by (pretty awesome!), I scooped Little Man up and asked him if he wanted to tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas and he said yes. So we made our way to the pavilion and I set Little Man back on his feet so he could see the other kids and Santa. I was ready for the coaching session. But it was all for naught. He was more than ready and I actually had to hold him back from racing into the pictures being taken of the child on Santa’s lap at that moment. But Little Man made his turn next and he climbed on up, smiled and enjoyed the pictures and attention. When Santa asked him what he wanted he clearly said ‘park’ and hopped down. Stinker.

I had high hopes that we’d get his picture with Santa this year, but alas, it was a no go. My 2 year old grandson ( I call him Little Man) watched as the other kids sat on Santa’s lap and flashes of the camera went off. After a cookie or two, we finally worked our way close enough to Santa’s bench that I thought I could coax him, but then he turned into water with no bucket and slid to the floor. At least he didn’t cry. He wanted to, but he didn’t.
But don’t despair, dear reader, we have a Santa picture this year. Santa, Granny and Little Man are all in the picture, with Little Man on Granny’s lap. I have one almost like it for his father, except in that picture it is easy to see that the child has been crying and I am much, much younger.
Oh well. Maybe next year.
