We had been working on allaying Olivia’s anxiety about bearded fellows for several days by the time we made it to the front of the line to see Santa. His helper elves were as helpful as could be, having taken Olivia’s hand and verbally prepping her for a lap sit with the Great Giver of Gifts. However, somewhere between the elf station and his chair, she completely lost it. So for the second straight year, Mommy figures prominently in Olivia’s picture with Santa. And much like last year, the gift she received amounted to a consolation prize.
