Santa's job

Just when you think your kid is not listening to things; we've tried to get M to sit with Santa at a local Mall, and she wants nothing to do with him, she says "scary" and turns away. That is until we tried to leave and were in the parking lot an she says "I want Claus, Claus lap", over and over. You know damn well if we went back in she would want nothing to do with him. I didn't think she understood what Santa was yet, she is just over 2 now.

But M had something cute to say on the way home from daycare the other day.  I'm told, out of the blue she says "Claus come my house". My wife asked her what Claus is going to do at our house, "Bring toys".

So I guess now is a good time to use that, like yesterday when she would not cooperate getting into her car seat. I whispered to her that if she wants Santa to come to our house she has to behave and be a good girl. It worked, I was a bit shocked at her complete 180, but believe me, I'm not complaining.
