Breakfast with Santa

"I want a new watch"

"I want a snow globe with plastic on top"

We had our Breakfast with Santa on Saturday.  It went pretty good.  We had lots of people and plenty of food, so I call that a success.  Tyler was really excited to tell Santa exactly what he wanted and had it all planned out in his head what he was going to say.  As soon as he sat on his lap, his list came out...."I want a snow globe with plastic on top, a new watch because my other one is too small, and a new yo-yo because my other one broke," and then he went to get off his lap.  He didn't care about the candy cane or anything else after that.  So we told him to stay there to get a picture and then we put Josh on the other leg to get a picture with both of them.  After Tyler got off Santa asked Josh what he wanted for Christmas and Josh shrugged his shoulders as if to say "I don't know" but then he pointed down to Santa's bag of treats and said he wanted that.  It was pretty funny.  That kid sure does like his treats.  So it was a success with Santa this year - thank goodness.
 Can you guess who thinks he doesn't needs to take naps?  Yep, it's Josh.  My two years and three month old boy.  WAY too young to not take naps.  On the days that he doesn't take a nap then he goes to bed nice and early, between seven and seven thirty.  So that is nice to have Tyler and Josh down so early, but I have really been missing my time to get things done while Josh naps.  He will take a nap about every third day - silly kid.  For the most part he doesn't get too grumpy, luckily, and it's been working out okay.  I do still lay down with him while he drinks his milk and then after about a half an hour or so if he's still wide awake then I will let him get up.  At least it is a little quite time for the both of us.  I guess we'll see how long this lasts, Tyler napped until he was over three - maybe when it gets warmer again and he's playing outside more he will get more tired...I'm pretty sure I am going to want him to nap after the baby gets here...less for me to deal with!
