Santa Story

Julie, my college roommate who watches Ander during the week, shared a funny Santa story with me. One morning, Ander was in the high chair with her two children, Bethany, 5, and Jacob, 7, eating cereal. She left for a moment and when she was gone, Ander began screaming. Not just a whiny scream, but "bloody murder" scream. She rushed into the room to see what had happened, thinking his high chair had tipped or that something horrible had happened. There were Bethany and Jacob, their eyes wide open with worry and fear and Jacob at the edge of tears. Julie asked "What happened?!" Jacob looked at her and said, "I just put on my Santa hat and said, 'Ho, Ho, Ho.'"

Apparently, Santa is not a big hit with Ander this first year.
