At two years old, Jaydon is not too happy about Santa. He had been so excited to go see Santa to ask for an apple for Christmas. As he neared his turn in line he started to back up a little each move someone made that brought him closer.
Once near to his lap he resisted heartily to sit with him!!!! When we got about two feet away he stopped crying and waved bye bye to Santa and said "he's a big guy". When we got home to his mom he told her that Santa was a "tough guy".
The bus had brought us from our house to the festivities at the town center. We decorated cookies, crafted a decorated crown, listened to singers from the High School (Jaydon loves any kind of music and kept asking for more each time they finished a number), and watched the tree lighting in the outdoors. Jeremy arrived and Jaydon was happy to see his Dad join us for the lighting of the tree and the drive home.
This was the extent of my "activity" for this day as I mainly sat at the opera for four hours! I went to the HD Met broadcast with Bill and Frank and three of their other friends for "Rodelinda". It is an opera that is not performed often, and even these seasoned opera goers had not seen it. It was a bit boring, but Renee Fleming as the lead was her wonderful self. (I wonder if Jaydon will like opera.)
Lunch after the opera was enjoyable with all of us sharing a bit more time together before going in our separate ways to home.
