What a difference a year makes......





We have had many sightings of the Jolly Ole' Fella. I have always told Alyssa that she doesn't have to do anything that makes her uncomfortable. At the same time I have tried to give her strategies to feel a part of things while not being overwhelmed. Secretly, I just wanted ONE picture with Santa. At the beginning of the season she was a bit stand offish. Last week at our FCC Holiday party, she stood beside Santa. Today at school, she actually sat on his lap (well kind of) and told him what she wanted. WOW WOW WOW!!!

For those who want to know.....the wish list includes a "fire truck, a flash light, and tools." Yup, that's my girl. She beats to her own drum. You can bet that she will find all of thee above under the tree and many other treats...way too much!!!
