Santa Claus!

Sunday, December 5th, my friend Abby was kind enough to invite Jentry and I to the Dreams Unlimited Holiday Party.  Dreams Unlimited coordinates and funds recreation opportunities for children with disabilities and their families.  The holiday party had food, games, candy, door prizes and Santa!.  Jentry was very excited to go sit with him and tell him exactly what she wanted for Christmas.  There was a line to see him, so we decided to find a table and set down our things.  The minute I set Jentry on the floor she immediately made a bee line to Santa, confidently walking past all the other children who were patiently waiting in line.  By the time I realized she was missing, Jentry was about to make a cameo appearance in some other, well behaved, little girl's picture with Santa.  Luckily I was just in time to grab her up and explain to her that we need to wait our turn.  Finally it was Jentry's turn to sit on Santa's lap and she froze.  The only way she would approach him was if Mommy came too, so we both got to sit and take a picture with Santa.  As soon as we were finished and back at our table eating, Jentry was then ready to go tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas all by herself.  Maybe next year she won't choke under all the holiday pressure!
