Grayson got to see Santa again yesterday at the mall! This picture is sooo fitting of how he feels about Santa this year! :) We kept asking him while we were at the mall if he was sure he wanted to see Santa. Each time he'd say "uh huh". So we made our way to Santa and was very happy to see there was NO line! I was shocked at this seeing how it's the weekend before Christmas and the mall was crazy with lots of people hitting the holiday sales. Grayson had a big smile on his face when he saw Santa and climbed right out of his stroller. He took a few steps... and then Santa held a hand out to him. That was the end of the smile! Once he was within reach of Santa, he promptly ran to Will and did NOT want to see Santa on his own! When Will tried to sit next to Santa on the chair, Grayson still did not care of that so Santa gave up his chair for Will and Grayson to look at an Elmo book he had. Santa snuck in next to them for this picture while Grayson didn't notice him there. After, we tried to see if he was more comfortable with the chair to sit with Santa, but he ran away. We got a couple other shots of Grayson in Will's lap and Santa in his chair, and one with Grayson standing near Santa, but neither of those had Grayson smiling and I thought this picture was the best fit for Grayson's attitude toward Santa. I'm glad there wasn't any kids waiting in line behind us because Santa and his helpers were so patient in trying to get a good picture! I was so happy with how Santa was patient and willing to try different things with Grayson as well. Sometimes Santa's at malls can be so indifferent towards the kids or grumpy and it was wonderful to see a Santa that you could tell enjoyed what he was doing! Maybe next year we'll get a good picture with both the boys on his lap! :)
