Shopping Exhaustion
Ben and I thought that while we were at the mall visiting Santa, we would also get some Christmas shopping done. The plan was for Dexter to switch off with Ben and me, leaving each of us some time on our own to do some shopping. We didn't take into account the children's activities at the mall, however, and Dexter had exhausted himself playing in the mall "zoo" and riding on the mall train. It was his first ever food court meltdown. And it was a doozy! Shopping mission not accomplished...
Visiting Santa at the Mall
Dexter was excited to see Santa this year and ask for a camera for Christmas. Ben and I took Dexter to the mall on a quiet Tuesday morning and Dexter didn't have to wait long to sit on Santa's lap. When Santa asked what he wanted for Christmas, Dexter told him, "a camera." Santa gave Dexter a lollipop and sent him on his merry way but before Dexter got more than a few steps away from Santa, he asked me, "where is my camera?" While Dexter understood the whole "request" process, he clearly didn't get the "delivery" process. Daddy and I had to explain that Santa would put it under the tree for him to get on Christmas day.
No Snow
We haven't had any snow this season so My Bologna couldn't bring our Christmas tree home on the sled as usual. Daddy saved the day by using Dexter's Radio Flyer Red Wagon to schlep our tree home.
