We took the kids to see Santa today at the mall. Forest and Amara spent some time making their list of "wishes" before leaving home. All three kids went up to see Santa at the same time and squeezed into the sleigh to have their picture taken. Santa patiently allowed each child to read his/her list (at the speed of early elementary readers) - he truly exuded the essence of Santa! Shen did not prepare a list ahead of time. Rather, he told us that his list "is a surprise" and "it is in my mind". Turns out Shen's list was the shortest list (imagine that) and also the most humble. We tried to overhear his conversation with the big guy and we believe he mentioned something about a "Christmas light" and a train.
For the record, Shen told us the other night he thought he definitely was on Santa's "nice list" (this in response to seeing another little boy throwing a tantrum). You just gotta love kids!
