Andrew came to me this afternoon and asked me if he could help me be Santa this year. He said, "I know it is you." Why do they always spring these things on us? I had no idea of how to respond. I knew this day was coming, but with the way he had been acting this year, I thought we had one more Christmas with him still believing. He said that he heard another mom ask her child if she could help her be Santa this year. I explained to him that Santa is part of the magic of Christmas and that he was not to spoil it for any other child. It is silly to say, but I am sad for him. It is fun to watch them enjoy the magic. Then to rub salt in my wounds, he asked me as he was going to bed, "Does this mean you are the Easter Bunny too?" Talk about a one, two punch! I just hope he keeps his promise not to spoil it for anyone else.
