So Thad definitely "gets" Christmas this year. I mean, he sort of got it last year, but this year is totally different.
He thumbs through Sensational Beginnings (a toys magazine) daily, telling us what Santa should bring him.
He asks every single day if it's Christmas yet.
He loves to help wrap Christmas presents.
He tells everyone that all the gifts under the tree are for him...even though they're not. Lol.
And the best part? He listens and behaves a heck of a lot better now that he knows "Santa Clause is watching."
So, this year I decided to take him to the mall to meet the big guy.
I was kind of hoping to get a hilarious photo of a 3-year-old boy, screaming at the top of his lungs at this horrific old man with a beard, trying to talk to him.
But no. He totally loved him.
He was screaming, "HI SANTA!" from the back of the line. He couldn't wait to get up there.
When he got onto Santa's lap, he told him that he wanted a Stinky the Garbage Truck for Christmas (win! It's already been wrapped!). He also told him that he wants a drum set (fail! Lol.).
Then Santa said, "What else would you like for Christmas, Thaddeus? A haircut?"
Uh, no, Santa. He doesn't want a hair cut. But thanks for asking, ya jack ass.
So yeah, once they had their little conversation, Santa tickled him, and threw him around, and played with his hoodie on his sweatshirt to get him to smile. I dropped $45 on the cheapest package just because I felt bad for bringing my own camera (and because the proceeds were being donated to Habitat for Humanity).
This is what we got for $45:
And then this is what we got for absolutely nothing:
(Somewhere along the way, Thad apparently lost his neck...)
Christmas is in 23 days!! I. Can't. Wait.
