Well, that's not 100% true. If Santa is on TV or in a book, Cole loves him. He yells out "HO" and get very excited. Real life Santa is a whole different story.
I had my first inkling that Cole may not be a Santa fan at Stroller Strides. We had just arrived and we getting ready to start exercising when the mall Santa walked through the doors. He came over and was chatting with the kids. He put his hand out to shake Cole's hand. Cole turned a full 180 degrees and buried his face in my legs. Uh Oh!
A few days later the same Santa arrived as we were warming up. The Santa was exercising with us and all the kids were getting a kick out of it. Except Cole. He refused to even look at Santa. When Santa moved into his line of sight, he flung his head around, so he didn't have to see him. Poor Santa!
On Wednesday, we went to sit on Santa's lap. I tried to hype up the event and get him excited. It seemed to be working, and Cole walked right up to Santa when it was his turn. I lifted him onto Santa's lap and he lost it. We got a quick picture and got down right away.
Brien told Cole last night if he wasn't a good boy during dinner (we were at the mall) he would have to go see Santa again! :)
Just to show that he wasn't permanently traumatized, this picture was taken a few minutes later.
