This past week Taylor went to visit Santa. I was a little nervous that Taylor would be scared of him like he was last year. But I have been working with him by teaching him the meaning of Christmas and reading him Christmas stories. When we walked in he ran up to Santa and gave him a huge hug! As he sat on Santa's lap and Santa asked him what he wanted this year all Taylor would say is Toys. Santa tried to get Taylor to elaborate a little, but he just kept saying just toys. He then got really shy and would not give us a smile!
This year he has finally grasped the Christmas holiday, well not completely, because when we finished hanging the Christmas lights on the house the other night he looked at me confused and asked..."Mommy where's Santa?" He thought since we put Christmas lights on our house, Santa would appear. When I told him that Santa was at the North Pole making toys for all the good boys and girls, he said..."but Santa will find my house now because of the Christmas lights". Later Taylor proceeds to tell me that Santa does not make all of the toys he buys some from Target. It is so cute and fascinating to listen to how a 3 year old comprehends things.
Merry Christmas to all from our family to yours!
