Santa: Take 1 and 2.
Posted on December 21, 2008
We took Chloe to Santa in Colorado. I don’t think she would have sat on his lap if her idol, Sabrina, wasn’t holding her hand. Unfortunately, the picture we got was kind of lousy.
So, being the kind of mom that feels the need to torture my child for the sake of a good photograph, tried again at the Long Street Farms, with Ellen’s crew. We let them go first, so Chloe could see that Santa was a nice guy, then we put her on his lap. Chloe refused to look or talk to him. She had this look on her face the whole time like: “i understand that this is important for me to sit here, but damn if I am actually going to acknowledge this Santa guy.”
The really sad thing is, this picture isn’t any better. We tortured her for nothing. Sigh, just another thing she can tell her therapist about when she’s older.
