Hayden has been begging for a train table for a month. He was absolutely certain Santa was going to bring him one this year. On the drive home, after spending Christmas Eve with my parents, Hayden was commenting on all the "Baby Jesus" stars in the sky. Then he said he wanted to talk to the moon. (We had told him earlier that night, that Santa was already up in the sky, flying around the world.)
This is what he said, "Hi Moon. Can you please tell Santa to stop at my house tonight when I'm sleeping, because I want him to bring me a choo choo train table. Can you tell Santa that for me please??"
When we got home, Hayden wanted to go strait to bed, but he wouldn't fall asleep for a while. Then he started yelling at me from his bedroom, telling me I needed to go to bed and sleep, because he wanted Santa to bring him a train table. He was really afraid if everyone in the house wasn't sleeping, he wasn't going to get it.
The poor kid slept terribly with nightmares, and in the morning was in a complete daze. He went to turn the Christmas tree lights on and sat down on the ottoman, literally 1 foot away from his bran new choo choo train table, all set up and ready. He didn't even see it! He looked at the tree and noticed there was a Buzz Lightyear stuffed doll thing under it and got excited. Then he started looking at all the wrapped presents (which had been there the night before and he'd already seen), and getting excited over them. I had to direct his attention to the choo choo train table, which was basically right in front of him. The poor kid was so tired!
