Visiting Santa

My mom came up to visit on Thursday, Dec. 11. We went to the mall for pictures at Sears, and to visit Santa.

Payton did well with Santa this year. While we were waiting in line, she kept asking me "Where are Santa's reindeer?" I told her to ask Santa, and that was the first thing she asked him! For Christmas she asked Santa for a kitchen. When prompted for further ideas, she said "toys." This is much more specific than last year, when she asked for "a present."

Haley sat on Santa's lap and just stared at him. She's a little taken aback by Papa Johnson's beard, so I think maybe she thought Santa was Papa. Anyway, she didn't cry!

Christmas pictures!

Comments from School

Haley's teacher, Ms. Elaine, is great about writing down some comments about Haley's day. Here are today's...

I stood next to Reese in the high chair and every time Ms. Elaine gave him a bite of food I would open my mouth. My friend and I played chase in and through the tunnel, until he decided to stop and sit down inside. Ms. Elaine was feeding a baby a bottle and she couldn't see me. She called my name and I peeked from behind her chair. I then crawled out from behind her chair and smiled at her. I then crawled under the swing. I raised up my head and banged it on the swing, making the baby in the swing cry.

And here are Monday's...

I made Annabelle smile when I peeked at her as she sat with Ms. Elaine. Listened to "Where is the Bone?" and "Monkey See Monkey Zoo." TOok the little blocks out of the container one at a time. Enjoyed sitting next to Annabelle and touching her face. Shook the musical instrument with my right hand while I held the cup in my left hand. I chewed on the lion, then on the rhino, then back to the lion.
