Making Santa Cry
Santa visited WildChild's headstart class yesterday, and in a complete reversal of the usual, WildChild made Santa cry. Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and WildChild replied "I want you bring my daddy to come 'n see me."
Surprised, Santa asked WildChild's mom what the situation was, and she explained that my son is in the Navy & has been stationed overseas for a long time, but that we were expecting him home late next week.
Ok, Santa said. So is there anything else you want for Christmas, WildChild? "Yeah," WildChild said. "I want to grow up & be big 'n strong just like my daddy."
WildChild's mom said by this time everyone in the room had teared up, including Santa, who had to take his glasses off & dry his eyes before he could continue.
Awwww.
Maybe I should stick a huge bow on my son's head when we go to pick up WildChild next weekend.

He's something else. He's been sooooo excited since I told him that his daddy will be here next Friday. They're so funny together. My son plays Everquest and WildChild hangs over his shoulder & coaches him constantly. "Get that heart Daddy! Run over there! Chase him! Fight him! Oh no, Daddy fall down! Get up Daddy! Where's your horns? Go in that castle!"
Freaking cracks me up.
