Ian had a very unique list for Santa, and unfortunately it was formulated after Mommy and Daddy were done shopping. (Note to self: save some money for last-minute Santa requests!) His list included a skateboard, skates, a castle and a dragon... and he never waivered! He didn't realize that 4-year-olds really aren't ready for skateboards, and Mommy and Daddy were not too thrilled with the castle and dragon idea. Santa had to get creative. He brought 4 little mini "finger" skateboards, blocks to build a castle, and a small (inexpensive) dragon.
Ian was so excited on Christmas morning. He actually slept until 8:30 when he ran into our room to get us. He said, "Mommy and Daddy! It's Christmas morning and Santa was here! Hurry! Come on! Let's go! Quick!" Before emptying his stocking, he looked carefully at Santa's plate and mug, and couldn't believe he ate and drank it ALL! "He must have really liked our milk and cookies!" Then, he began to unpack his stocking. His little hand was shaking with excitement as he pulled things out. It was precious, magical and heartwarming to watch.
Mommy and Daddy gave Ian the roller skates he wanted. The fact that they had Spiderman on them was icing on the roller skate cake!
He immediately fell, and hasn't put them on since.
