Waiting for Santa

Holiday Card Picture

Naughty or nice...waiting for Santa can be difficult.

Wednesday morning on our way to Nana's I was explaining that mommy would be home with you for a couple of weeks.

Delaney: why?
Mommy: It's Christmas break we have to get ready for Christmas and enjoy our family. It's five days till Christmas.
Delaney: It's still not Christmas AGAIN!

Tuesday bedtime:
Jaxon is being naughty, so Daddy calls Santa to report bad behavior. Jaxon went straight to his bedroom, but he kept saying, "I'm not getting any presents".
I tried telling him now that he was being a good boy that Santa would probably be able to deliver presents but Jaxon was still upset. About 30 minutes later, he wandered into the living room and repeated again that he wasn't getting presents with a very sad look. I picked up the phone and called Santa to assure him that Jaxon was now being a good boy and that he could be taken off of the naughty list.



Wednesday bedtime:
We were trying to get everyone into their pajamas and settle down for bed. We told Jaxon to go use the restroom before bed. He kept messing around, so Daddy got pretty firm with him and told him to go use the restroom or he would get a spanking. Jaxon went into the hallway for a second (he had a phone in his hand), and then popped his head around the corner and looked straight at his Dad and said, "I call Santa and your not getting presents!"

Daddy laughed outloud. I tried to contain myself.

Thursday nap time:
Delaney: Mom, what's after nap?
Mom: I don't know. We can play. Maybe, we will go rent a movie.
Delaney: Is it going to be Christmas?
