I love the Daycare. This year during the Christmas party for Robert's class, and most of the center. Santa came to visit. (It was the owner all dressed up, so he knew all the kids names too)
It took a little persuading to get Robert to go up to him. But he finally did, and couldn't stop smiling. He even told Santa what he wanted for Christmas, more Kitchen toys. (He loves to pretend to cook.)
After Santa visited all the classroom, he got a chair and had the kids come sit on his lap. The other owner was taking pictures of each child too for the parents that couldn't come. (I have two pictures so far, but still need the one of Robert alone that they took.)
I even got a chance to go get Jonathan and get a picture of both boys with Santa. I will tell you this Santa was definitely more attractive and nice looking than the one we get at the local mall. (I decided these pictures were so good, that I didn't need to see the mall Santa).
I didn't get a picture of Jonathan alone, but like I said the owners took a picture of Jonathan alone. Santa acually visited Jonathan's class room another day. And they took a picture then. I will have to scan it in, and share it too. Jonathan definitely was not afraid of Santa.
Jonathan wasn't quite up, when Robert was ready to come down. So he got to wake up a little more laying on the couch while Robert checked out what Santa brought.
Just what he had been asking for, more Kitchen toys. Santa doesn't wrap gifts in our house, so it was fun to watch him move from one Santa gift to the next. We were up for a while before he actually openned a wrapped gift. He had to play with his Santa gifts first.
The boys also got each other gifts. Robert picked out this cute black and white dog for Jonathan. And Jonathan loves it. Robert wanted to get him a panda bear, but we could find one so he settled on a "panda Dog". We decided to call him Panda.
The wonder of Christmas so nice. Watching my Three year old get into Santa, and helping pick out gifts for others. Even Jonathan got into the gifts, mostly the wrapping paper. And he would let me put bows on his head, which Robert won't. (Robert would even remove them from Jonathan's head when he noticed them.)
Robert couldn't wait to get home and start decorating it. I am thankful I have lots of non-breakable ornaments that Robert could put on the tree.
I even have paper mache balls for Robert to place on the tree. And in true 3 year old fashion, they were grouped all together on 2 or 3 branches. Of course since it is real tree, it didn't have the strenght to hold as many ornaments as he wanted to put on one branch.
In the end, I loved having the ornaments done by Robert. And can't wait until next year when he is bigger and placing them on more of the tree. We had so much fun, and to my great surprise Jonathan slept through it, so I got Robert time. (For those that don't know Jonathan is not the best of sleepers.)
