Santa 2010

Those of you that got a good laugh out of last year’s Santa story, will surely laugh at this years…

Yesterday we went to visit the BIG SC at the mall. No, you aren’t dreaming, he really is at the mall and it really is only November 15^th! I guess he just wants to get an early start on the list like the rest of us OCD people.

This year Noah was shaking when we got there and was really unsure about sitting with Santa and telling him what he wanted, but he did ok. He really wanted to be strong for Cousin, Eithan. Auntie Tori was such a sweetheart, she wanted to comfort him and kept trying to think of things to get him so that he would be happy and smile. He is so lucky to have such a good Auntie. J

When we got up to Santa, Santa was so patient with him and said, my Noah you have gotten big since last year and now you have a cousin. Noah looked at him in complete amazement that he not only knew his name, but that he had a cousin! Mommy looked at him with a smile and thought, this Santa is awesome, he knows how to listen to the kids coming up in line and get them excited! Once we sat down, Noah held on to me with dear life and told him that he was a good boy (most of the time) and usually made “good choices” and wants a “dumpy” truck and LEGOs. Mommy and Noah took a picture and he even took a “serious” picture by himself.

After he was done with Santa he told Eithan that it was his turn and he watched Eithan and made sure that he was ok. He so very protective of his cousin. He and Eithan took a picture together and Noah kept that “serious” look the whole time.

Now that we got seeing Santa checked off our list Mommy feels good, but this is a double edged sword. Noah thinks that Santa is coming now, not on December 24^th. How do you explain to a 3 year old that he isn’t coming for 35 more days? Last night he wanted to leave cookies and milk and this morning he thought Santa was stuck in the fireplace! Yes, you read that right…STUCK in the fireplace!

I went into his room and got him ready for school and when we went into the kitchen for his morning drink he went over to the fireplace and said, “Santa, are you stuck?” I said, “Noah, what are you doing?” He said, “Mommy, I think Santa is stuck. Yep, I see his boots up there. I don’t know why he didn’t get down here.” I had to tell him that he wasn’t stuck and that Santa didn’t come last night and won’t be coming for a long time. He looked at me with sad eyes, got his things, and went out to the car.

When we started to drive to Ms. Dawn’s house he said to me, “I guess I was naughty, Mommy. Santa didn’t come to my house to bring me presents and watch me open them.” I had to keep telling him that Santa doesn’t think he is naughty and that he will get presents from Santa on Christmas, but that is not until after Turkey Day and not to worry so much.

I am certain that this will go on for quite sometime and that I will have to keep explaining this to him, but it is definitely entertaining and I wouldn’t change my OCD little boy for the world. I love him more than he even knows.

Being a Mommy is so hard sometimes! I hope all of you enjoy Noah’s Santa story 2010 and his Santa pictures.

We love you all very much and hope to see you all very soon!

Happy Holidays!

Noah is a BUSY BOY!!!

It has been a bit since our last post...

Noah has been a very busy little boy! He has gone to Disneyland for Christmas, went to Glendale Glitter and Glo, started baseball camp, and so much more!!

Let's start with Christmas. He was a spoiled to say the least, but all in LOVE! He got a lot of great toys including some instruments that he loves to play all the time, Buzz and Woody, a Radio Flyer scooter, and so much more!

He had such a great time with his family and the best part was going to Disneyland! He got to go to Hot Dog's House, which he was not so sure about, see lots of characters (from afar of course!), and Mommy and Daddy had a blast riding the rides with him. Seeing Disneyland through your child's eyes is amazing and so much different than going as a child or even as an adult...we can't wait to go again.

We were blessed to be able to go with Mamma, Pampa, Uncle Steven, and Auntie Tori. He thought it was pretty cool to have everyone there with him and to ride the rides with him...oh and let's not forget "love" aka SPOIL him.

In January he got to go to Glendale Glitter and Glo in Downtown Glendale. He LOVED the rides. He especially loved the turning bear ride and the ginormous slide!! Mommy got to ride the rides over and over with him...she didn't mind at all since she is a ride lover herself! He liked seeing all of the hot air balloons lit up, but from afar...he was a little unsure of the loud noise and fire coming from inside. As long as he was with his Mamma and Pampa he was good to go. :)

He also got to start baseball camp in January, which he absolutely LOVES!!! He thinks that he is going to be the next All Star Champ that's for sure. He has to take his baseball glove with him each time (even though he doesn't need it each time) and when he is there it is all about running the bases and getting home runs!

After our 1st time at baseball camp Daddy thought that it would be a good idea to go and get a regular bat and some balls (like they use at camp), so we can practice at home. It was a great idea until we got to Sports Authority! Noah needed EVERYTHING!! He wanted a catchers mask, in fact he tried sneaking one out of the store, a bag to carry everything in, a tee to hit off of, and anything else a pro-baseball player would need! It was insane. Mommy and Daddy just chuckled and got him to the front of the store with the bat and balls. Goodness, who knew he would be so SERIOUS!! Ok, Mommy did. :)

Noah is a very busy boy and keeps Mommy and Daddy very busy. He has quite the imagination these days and keeps us laughing all the time. Mommy and Daddy aren't quite sure where he comes up with some of the things that he says, but we are glad he does because he makes our days brighter and full of laughter and smiles!

We hope that this finds everyone happy and well!

Enjoy the pictures from the past couple of months! We will post again soon! :)

Love and hugs!
Lynzee, Moses, and Noah
