Christmas 2009

As Ryan didn't like his photo taken with Santa for his first Christmas, I gave it a miss last year. There's been a gap so I thought I'll give it a try this year.

I took him to Smith & Caughey to visit the Enchanted Forest which leads to Santa (I actually wanted to check the forest out myself).

He's always saying that he is scared of Santa so I thought he will cry but he was a lot better than I thought. He wanted to walk away when it was nearly his turn and I think it was because the kid in front of us was crying. As you can see from the photo, he sat on Santa's knee. We couldn't get a smile out of him though as he was really worried and kept calling out for me. He was ok as soon as Santa let him go and he even took a present off Santa!

He saw Santa when I took him to the mall yesterday and pulled me over as he wanted to say hello to Santa. I wonder how he will be when Santa shows up at his daycare's X'mas party.
