I'm so excited! We took Eric and our Grandaughters to a local
"Christmas Store" today. Its really neat...they do a whole
"Christmas Avenue" with all types of trees, decorations, themes, and characters. You have to wait in line to go through it, but its well worth the wait. Anyways, at the end of the Avenue, you go
back into the store, and today Santa arrived and was sitting in his
toyhouse. Every year we try to take Eric to the mall to see Santa, and he wants no part of him. We even have "Santa" come to the house with all the kids and Eric just usually hides and cries and totally avoids him. Not today! As soon as Eric saw Santa he started waving like a maniac and ran right up to him.
You'd have thought he found his long lost friend or something.
We even got to take a picture of Santa, the girls, and Eric. I was amazed! Brought tears to my eyes actually. No meltdowns, no plopping, no screaming....it was very enjoyable. I think having the grandaughters there too was a help. But for whatever reason, this was really a big step for my guy. I'm probably going to make some wallet size pics and I'll send them out with my UNO MAS Christmas cards. Unless I can figure out how to put them on the computer. Sorry so long, but I just had to share...
