Santa!

Harper had a rough day yesterday...

First she had her 15 month well-child visit, and she is terrified of everything at the doctor's office.  We couldn't even get her to sit on the baby scale.  The nurse ended up weighing Jason and her and then just Jason and came up with 22 pounds.  Even getting her length was difficult {she came up with 31 1/4 inches}.  Then Harper screamed while the doctor was listening to her lungs, checking her ears, mouth, etc.  And after all of that, she had to get two shots.  Thank goodness Jason was able to come with us this time.

Then we took Harper to see Santa after her nap.  I knew she would be terrified after her reaction to Santa at the Lights in the Heights party we went to--she was practically running in the air to get into my lap.  I tried to prepare her, talking a lot about Santa and showing her the picture of her and Santa from last year...

But it didn't help...

I know, it seems mean.  Don't worry.  She stopped crying and went back to her happy self the second I picked her up so there was only about 10 seconds that she was unhappy.  And she had a lot of fun walking around Bass Pro Shop, looking and waving at all of the fake animals :)
