Our mall has a fantastic Santa. We discovered last year that if you go BEFORE Thanksgiving they will spend lots of time with you to make sure your kid is comfortable and you get a good picture. Last year Addie was terrified of Santa. This year wasn't much different. She was OK with him being there as long as she was about 10 feet away from him. The photographer tried showing her toys, reading books and having his 2 year old son sit on Santa's lap to show Addie it was OK. Nothing worked. So Santa 'went bye bye'. He stood out of her view for a few minutes until we convinced her to sit in his chair then he snuck back in and stood behind her. This is exactly how the picture last year looked (except we have Johnny this year). We had about 20 pictures to choose from by the time we were done. They probably spent about 15 minutes with us and it was past the time they were supposed to be closed. Maybe next year she will actually be on his lap. :)
