santa is not my friend

s and i knew aj was not going to like santa...he's just such a shy guy. we tried to prepare him for this visit. we showed aj all his pictures from the last 2 years on santa's lap. we told him that santa would give him cars and trucks. we went to the mall and showed him santa and he was fine w/ it. when we said, let's go say hi to santa, he said "okay". there was a reasonable wait and once it was our turn, he seemed okay. we even got him to hi five and fist pump santa. however, once s picked him up to sit on santa it was not looking good. he wanted to get off immediately. i coaxed him to get back on santa and the photographer was able to get one decent shot of aj before he started crying.

a harmless fist pump - thought it was a nice way to warm up to santa

yeah, i was wrong
