A couple of nights ago after watching Polar Express (again) Liam brought me a piece of paper and said "Santa. Note" and then mimed licking an envelope.
So he dictated a note to Santa....
Lee: "Dear Santa....ok Liam what do you want to say."
Liam: "This is Liam."
Lee: "Ok, now, do you want to tell Santa that you were a bad boy but you want presents anyway?"
Liam: "No!!! Me Nice!"
Lee: "Ok -- I have been nice this year, and I want....."
Liam: "Indie whip and hat." (Referring of course to Indiana Jones' hat and whip from the first movie.
Lee: "Anything else?"
Liam: "mmmmmmm" (tapping his finger to his forhead) and then with a triumphant finger to the sky "Indie coat"
We finished off the note and addressed it and put it in the pile to be mailed.
Yesterday Santa got the note, funnily enough at my office, and called Liam last night.
Lee "Liam, the phone's for you."
Liam: "who?"
Lee: "I don't know."
Liam "hi...." Listens to Santa (who looks a lot like Dan from Double Forte) say "Liam is that you?"
Liam: "yes" and then his eyes got really big when he heard "this is Santa"
Liam: "Santa?!??!!??! Ohhhh myyyyyy gosh!"
Then after a very animated discussion about santa, indie's hat and whip, pointing at the tree where Santa would leave the presents, talking about hot hot (hot chocolate) and cookies, we finally had to say goodbye to Santa so he could call other kids.
This morning when Liam came down to wake us up, he ran to my side of the bed and said
"Santa call me! make hot hot and cookies Today!!!"
Yeah, I'd be owing Dan $50 for this one!
