Went went to visit Santa at the mall yesterday. For this year, it took a bit more work than years past. Keegan warmed up to Santa instantly and started asking him for the things he wanted for Christmas. The first time we tried, Tustin start screaming so hard, he wouldn't even go in to Santa's house. (You know it's bad when TUSTIN can't be bribed with candy canes and cookies!) At one point, I got on my knee just inside the open doorway, and Tustin was covering his eyes with his fists, crying, "Mommy, come OUT of there!"
We went to the end of the line, talked it up a bit. Keegan was a big help with telling Tustin how nice Santa was, and that it was his chance to ask him for Christmas presents. The second time, he gave Santa "knuckles" and a high five or two, but wanted nothing else to do with him. I figured, we are going for it anyway--- so Keegan hopped up there, and I plopped Tustin on Santa's lap, and this was the first photo they snapped off as quickly as possible. (The rest of them, Tustin had both of his fists covering his eyes and you couldn't even see his face.)
Poll: am I torturing my child??
