The first weekend in November we were at the mall and saw Santa! (Yes, they had him at the mall already!) We decided to seize the moment and get a photo with him. However, Miss A was terrified of Santa and would not go near him. Santa had an idea-he suggested he could lay down in his great big throne and pretend to sleep while having baby F lay on his chest. He suggested that perhaps Miss A could stand by him and put her finger to her lips as if she was saying "shhhh". (YEAH RIGHT!) So, we got baby F to lay on his chest with no problem but still Miss A was having nothing to do with Santa. If I was holding her and I went near Santa, she would ask for Daddy and if E went near Santa, then she would ask for me. I am glad we didn't force the issue because below is the peaceful, sweet photo we got of our baby boy sleeping on Santa's chest. (For photos of other children who are terrified of Santa, click on this link for a photo gallery- http://www.parenting.com/gallery/Baby/Scared-of-Santa/1/)
Santa even asked if they could use our photo as an example for other people with babies!
Here's the priceless pic (which is also the pic in my header)-
