It is official - Camryn is terrified of Santa. Her daycare had their annual Christmas program this evening where the kids sing songs for the parents and look adorable. During the program, Santa made a visit to read a story and hand out gifts. Camryn was sitting with her teacher, Krysti, and her friend, Kiersten. She LOVES Krysti and was content sitting with her up front until Santa got a little too close. (Luckily, I got a picture of her while she was content) Then, we saw it coming...complete meltdown. I ran up to get her and was completely embarrassed in the process. Of course, it had to be my child who has the meltdown in front of everyone. Although, I was terrified of fake Santas when I was little, so I can't blame her. I took her to the back of the room and calmed her down. Then, she proceeded to point to Santa and say, "Tanta - ho ho ho." She was fine with him from a distance. When it was time to go up and get her gift from Santa, I thought she would be ok since she was watching him for a while. Nope. She hung on to me for dear life and cried until we were safely away from him. So, I guess it is ok for Santa to leave her presents this year as long as he stays at least 50 feet away from her at all times!!!! It is a good thing she will be sleeping when he comes for Christmas! And, lucky for her, we captured these magical moments on video. I am sure she will love it when she is older!!!!
