So we took Natalie to Yorkdale once again for the annual photo with Santa. I prepped her all week long leading up to the visit, and everything seemed fine. We would ask her "what does Santa say?" and she would reply, "Ho ho ho!" And when asked "when you sit on Santa's lap and Santa asks you what you want for Christmas, what do you say?" she would answer with enthusiasm, "toys!" So we had every indication that a meeting with Santa would be a happy one. On the afternoon of the Santa visit, we made sure Natalie napped beforehand to eliminate any chances of a cranky baby (in fact, we lined up while she was napping in the stroller). When she woke up, I greeted her with a nice big bagel from Baguette. She munched away at it happily and I said to her, "you're not gonna cry when you see Santa, right?" to which she nodded, "right." So while the kid in front of us wailed away as he was plopped on Santa's lap, I grinned and thought to myself, "that ain't gonna be my kid." Well, let's just say I was....wrong. Refer to photo below.
I guess Natalie woke up a bit cranky from her nap :-) Ah well. After the visit with Santa, we took some pictures around Santa's photo area and picked up some Kernels popcorn - which got Natalie's full approval.
Natalie was much happier taking photos at home, decked out in her "Santa dress" and taste-testing Santa's cookies.
