Santa Almighty
Lucy thinks Santa is more powerful than we are. More powerful than Mrs. Robinson. Or the Easter Bunny. More powerful than God himself.
Our little Santa-worshipper has been a model child recently. HE IS WATCHING, after all. We remind her of this at every turn. Earlier this week, she was refusing to go to bed and Jason turned to me gravely: "Mom, you better get Santa's phone number." She wailed, then begged, as calmly as she could, for us "please please please please" not to call him. The fear of Santa is our main parenting technique at the moment. God (or Santa?) help us on December 26.

Yep it works like a charm. We like to pull it out at dinner time. Tristan hates to eat new veggies. So we have been using it as a way to get him to eat new veggies. Sadly on 12/26 we will be forced to just each green beans at every meal.
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
I can hardly wait to read the next post after Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and all the El Paso crowd!
