New Chapter.

Our first visit with Santa was like this..........




Now as mean as it may seem I think this picture is Freakin' hilarious!
I seriously love it.
Little E (huge Jowls and all) looking at his brother like he's out of his mind.
Did we redo the picture?
Heck NO!
This is reality so I'll take reality over the average pic any day.

Now there was only one more Santa attempt and it send me into a ball of tears.
We took them to the mall when Zenon was 2 1/2 E was 1 1/2 and Z lost his mind. We're in line one minute he sees Santa and takes off!
I had to seriously tackle my kid in a beauty salon. He was shaking, crying and had a glazed look in his eyes.
I trembled all the way home, I think then and there I knew something was wrong.
(He hadn't been diagnosed yet.)

We never attempted Santa again.

Now 41/2 years later the child tells me he's staying up all night because he WANTS to see Santa and give him a hug.

Music to our ears.

I think we'll attempt those Santa photos again, mom and dad have been waiting....patiently.
