Quite a Day

We left work early on Tuesday to take Evan to get his flu booster shot. As we learned at his 15 month appointment, he's figured out the doctor's office. He's perfectly fine until his but hits that paper covered table. Then he becomes a total spaz. The shot was quick and as soon as he was off the paper table, he was back to normal. Such a drama king.

Since it was still quite early, we decided to press our luck and see how the Santa line was. It was totally empty. From start to finish, we were the only ones in the Santa room. We entered cautiously and Evan was a little suspicious. After some high fives with Santa, David put Evan down so he could walk to Santa on his own. He walked right up to him and hugged him. We got some good pictures-- even though the dippy camera lady insisted on loudly jingling the jingle bells and yelling "EVAN!" at him. (All I had to do was ask him what the horse says which made him smile big and say "neh" and she missed that shot, of course.) While I was paying, Evan walked around looking at the toys and kept going back to hug Santa. It was so adorable!

They gave us gift certificates for free ice cream so we grabbed some while we were there. My crazy weird kid spit out the ice cream like it was asparagus flavored but noshed on some raisins once we got back in the car. Weird, yes, but I also love that he doesn't like sweets and is crazy about fruit.
