. . . there is a Santa Claus . . .
This is the very moment she's been anticipating for the last few weeks. She's rehearsed with me what she would say and do: "I will say it's a pleasure to meet you. Then I'll ask for my Dora house." When it came her turn she got very excited. Once on his lap she smiled, cleared her throat and was ready to talk. Then he talked, in a deep voice . . . and Vanessa covered her ears. But with a little encouragement, she made her request and then ended the visit on a good note . . .
And Zane didn't need to visit with Santa -- he knows his ever so cute toothless grin puts him at #1 on Santa's list.
And Vanessa doesn't mind . . .
