Shiner Texas 1 a.m.. Mom's just about to doze off into slumber when she hears the pitter patter of little foot steps. Who could it be? Not loud enough to be Spencer's or Angelica's, not soft enough to be the dogs so that leaves only Aiddin. Mom's thoughts are, If I lay here and not move he will go back to bed. Instead he enters her bedroom and proceeds to the foot of the bed. Lorri says, "who's there" and this little head rises above the headboard and says "me, Aiddin. I'm waiting for Santa". Lorri informs him that there is still a week to go, but try telling that for a 4 year old. What's a week to him, a minute, hour, day, lets face it there is no time frame to a 4 year old. With that he proceeds to tell Lorri for the 500th time that Santa is going to fly through the sky over Shiner and over his house looking for all the good boys and girls. He will then come to Aiddin's house and bring him, and he rattled off a list of about 50 things. Lorri being patient as she is, listened and then told him to go back to bed which he did.
Shiner Texas 3 a.m.. Pitter patter of little feet and again he had to explain how Santa would arrive at their house and bring all these presents for him and his brothers and sisters. Putting him back in bed and sternly telling him to stay there he went to sleep. Lorri said this has been going on for about two weeks now. Aiddin is so hyped up for the arrival of Santa that he is just bursting. Aiddins latest plan, as of today, is to stay awake and catch Santa putting the presents under the tree at which time he will give him a huge hug. Also, instead of leaving cookies out he wants to leave a ham sandwich because we all know Santa loves ham and anyway he will get fat eating all the cookies left for him.
God bless the minds of little children.
