As we waited for Santa, wayde was able to make a Christmas list for Santa in the waiting area (he kept saying he wanted "blue books" from Santa. Can you tell we are working on his "b"'s in speech therapy, I was a proud mama!).
Wayde had a rough time waiting in line and kept asking for Santa the entire wait. But finally, it was our turn! Wayde didnt just walk over, he RAN over to Santa (by himself might I add, we really need to work on his stranger danger!). He handed Santa his list and then went into a star struck mode. We couldn't even get a peep out of him! Santa tried to read to him, give high fives and "play guess the animal", but wayde did nothing but just look right at him... In his silence, wayde jumped up on santas knee and stared in amazement. We only got a half of a smile for a photo and could hardly keep his face turned away from Santa for long!
As soon as wayde got a big Santa hug and was on his way with candy cane & santa's gift in hand, his voice magically reappeared when he screamed "MAMA, WAYDE SEE SANTA!!!!!". Needless to say, he's been starting at the photo of him and Santa all night jumping up and down making sure he tells us about how he met Santa. He is now reading himself to sleep to the book Santa gave him, making up words to each page. But somehow each page must say "wayde and Santa" because that's all I hear coming from his room :)
