After Thanksgiving, talk about Santa started out of the blue. At school they started singing Christmas songs and "learning" about Santa. Whenever talk about Santa came up we asked Owen what he wanted and he always answered with a sold answer, "choo choo train."
Instead of heading to the mall this year to see Santa, we went to a local photo studio that has Santa and Mrs. Clause for kids to meet. Everyone there was very nice and Mr. and Mrs. Clause were wonderful.
Now, if when you look at this picture you are thinking Owen looks a little terrified of Santa, he was. As wonderful and jolly as Santa was, Owen was much more interested in the pink flamingo next to him. We were surprised he wasn't more excited to see him because he talked about Santa non-stop and couldn't wait to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. Santa being Santa, knew the secret to Owen's heart and pulled out a candy cane, Owen quickly warmed up to him (but still wouldn't sit on his lap until right before we left).
In the days and weeks after we visiting Santa, Owen still talked about him quite a bit and stuck with his wish list of a choo choo train. A few days before Christmas, we were talking about Santa and what he wanted for Christmas and out of the blue, Owen proclaimed that he wanted, "choo choo train... and candy cane." You got it son, I will let Santa know!
