Saturday night we decided to go grab a quick bite to eat at Armadillo Willy's. We ordered our food and then found a place to sit. We weren't aware that Baylee even knew what Santa was, but apparently we were wrong. She stretched her little arm out to point at a big inflatable Santa up by the register, and was very excited to show us "San-tah!" Baylee says a few words clearly, but not a ton, so I was surprised that she said Santa so distinctly. She then walked around the half wall and up to the register to go look at him. Ben looked with her for a little bit, brought her back, and then she walked right back up. So, here comes surprise number two-Baylee has always been a mommy and daddy's girl and takes sometimes weeks or more to warm up to people enough to let them hold her. Well, she's definetly out growing that stage, because while she was looking at "San-tah!", she walked right over to an older man (and men take her the longest to warm up to) and held her hands out signaling that she wanted him to pick her up. So, he did and she was very content and showed him "San-tah!". We eventually got our food and started eating. A little into our meal, someone reached over the half wall and puts a Santa balloon right next to Baylee. We look over and its the guy that she had been showing Santa to. I guess he had run a couple stores down to Safeway and bought her a Santa balloon, and what kid doesn't love balloons? Even better, it had Santa, and two more of Baylee's favorite things on it-kitties and puppies! She was very excited about it. The man wished us a Merry Christmas, but more importantly reminded us of what Christmas is all about-giving, being kind to others and so much more.
