Last year's photo of 1st Little Grandson with Santa was one of pure terror. He did not want to be anywhere near Santa, let alone be on his lap. He is 2 1/2 and this year he looked at Santa from afar and waved at him but was not a happy camper when Mom and Dad faked him out and sat him on Santa's lap. Maybe a smile next year, O.
My friend shared a couple of stories about two of her grandchildren. Her granddaughter Vivienne is in second grade and has heard from some classmates that Santa isn't real. She and her siblings went to visit Santa and when her mom tucked her into bed, she said, "Mom, I know the Santa we saw today was the real Santa. He was so kind to the special needs boy and he understood him. He must have really good hearing. And a kind heart." Don't stop believing, Vivienne.
Vivienne's little brother Sawyer is the third (and last) child and he is a little rascal. Sawyer asked Santa for a second chance.
I am sure Santa believes in second chances.
ReplyDeleteI know he does!
DeleteI lasted even longer. I found out that Santa wasn't real in the 4th grade when the teacher actually asked to class to tell when they learned that Santa wasn't a real person. I was so embarrassed. I think it was easier to keep that secret back in those days.
ReplyDeleteI am the oldest of 4. My baby sister is 4 1/2 year younger than me. She told me that Santa wasn't real!
DeleteMaybe your grandson thought mom and dad were giving him away!
ReplyDeleteDad was close by, Mom was snapping pics. It's all about the photo!
