First Santa Encounter

We took Jack to the local mall for a picture with Santa. We were hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Remember in 'A Christmas Story' when the little brother freaks out at the sight of the store Santa? We were imagining that scene with our child.

There was no line-up to see Santa, so we walked right up to him, and Jack was perplexed by this strange man, but not scared by him. Of course, it helped that he had his 'security ball' with him! He managed to sit still enough to get a picture taken, and even though he's not smiling, we considered it a total success.

He was so good that we had a quick stop at Dairy Queen for an ice cream treat! The video is of him sitting in a chair by himself, and learning to eat alone as well.
