A couple of days ago, we had a free afternoon and took the boys for their annual Santa visit. Since the 5 year old is getting older and wiser and oh so inquisitive, I thought it would be safest to see the same Santa as last year. We took the giant double stroller but made B get out and walk through the little exhibit they have at the Macy's downtown. He. did. AWESOME. So much more engaged and interested in his surroundings this year. He willingly climbed up on Santa's lap and played with his beard and costume. We walked through twice (no crowd) and everything was easy and smooth.
I think what I'll remember most from this year though is when Santa was trying to have a hushed conversation with an oblivious B and his big brother leaned over and said "he doesn't know many words. But he knows a lot of words - just not SO many." I love how he was sticking up for the little guy. Our pictures are always so-so at best but at least we have them and a nice record of how big they are getting each year.
