He Listened...

Christmas morning we woke our 4 yr old up to open presents at 7:30 am. Grandma was here and we were all excited. Apparently, we were more excited than he was. He would not wake up. We put presents on his lap, told him Santa came, and even sang Christmas carols. Nothing worked. Finally at around 8 am, I played his Mickey Christmas toy, which plays Deck The Halls (his favorite), and he woke up.

The first present he grabbed was the one he specifically asked Santa for. When he opened it, he looked at grandma, mom, and dad and exclaimed, "he listened. Santa really listened to me!" We heard this for the rest of the morning. It was the cutest thing I have ever heard. My son is great.
