We kept hearing all day from Jackson about wanting this new toy and that new toy. Well I finally decided in order to distract..err deter him from asking about every.single.thing we saw at the store on Sunday that he just HAD TO HAVE I told him the only way he was going to get ANYTHING from this point on until Christmas was to sit on Santa's lap and ask the big man..LOL!
I knew that would stop him in his tracks, however, it actually backfired on me!! He said OK MOM, where's SANTA?!? UGH.
I thought well he won't want to go see him as he'll still be scared, nope. not this year! He's a "big kid" now so he was ready and willing to go sit on Santa's lap and tell him he wanted a gun, a blue sword and preferably some shoot 'em up game he can play on Wii that he's seen Jeff play on his computer.
We ended up going to the Village in Allen and visited the Santa we have been to since Jackson was 9 mos. We got right in as we were there at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon, the night after Santa officially "arrived". We were the second ones in line and right before our turn he looked at me and said "mom I'm not scared of Santa he's nice". I said of course Santa's nice he brings you toys you ask for Jackson! He agreed and it was our turn. He went right up and gave Santa a high five and sat on his lap and froze initially but then said Santa I want a blue sword. Santa replied, "like Star Wars?" Jackson's eyes were mesmerized and showed his shock and awe of Santa's knowledge of Star Wars! Santa was that much cooler suddenly in Jackson's eyes for he knew what Star Wars was and it was all cool now. He got a great picture and gave Santa a hug got down and screamed out MOM! I sat on Santa's lap and told him what I wanted!! I said yes I saw you Jackson, daddy and I heard you! He said OK mom, I'm ready for my blue sword now...ugh. I guess maybe next year he'll really get how Santa operates. lol! Oh well can't complain at least there were no tears this year and he sat willingly even with his John Deere tshirt and all, hey at least it was Christmas green!! :)
FYI this is a pic of the real pic. I took it with my cell phone so sorry it isn't the clearest!
