Santa!

So we started the Christmas Season off with two visits with Santa!

 

Saturday morning Justin and I took Jayce (and his cousins Samantha, Schyler, and Sienna) to the Deer Valley Airport for breakfast, and to watch Santa fly in on a helicopter (cause the reindeer are nocturnal, and only fly at night).  Jayce did OK with this Santa, and did eventually crack a smile (though it was after I put the camera down, go figure).

 

Later that afternoon we went to visit the mall Santa.  We figured we'd get that visit out of the way early in the season to avoid any lines that may form closer to Christmas.  We only waited for about thirty minutes, and otherwise walked the mall - it was EMPTY (I guess all the deals were on Friday...).  This Santa didn't go over nearly as well.  And the photo lady was only able to get three pictures snapped before he threatened to scream (no, we were not those people, he never actually cried).

And a bit of a follow-up to the sleeping situation.  Jayce is doing much better.  He still cries when I lay him down in his crib, but he is done and asleep before I get to the stairs.  It only took about a week and a half, and numerous amounts of tears on both sides, but *knock on wood* I think we have this bedtime thing figured out.  Now to work on naps....
