Talking with Santa

While at my mom's for Thanksgiving Koen got to see Santa. The day after Christmas Santa turns the lights on in the park, and talks to all the kids who line up to request presents. Koen has never talked to Santa in the past, he cries, but not this year. He was so excited he could hardly hold still in line. He wanted to tell Santa to get him Diesel 10 (a train car) for Christmas. When it was his turn he ran up there all by himself! He was so proud and excited when he was done. I was afraid he'd cry again, but he must be getting a little more confident as time goes on.
