We headed into the city for our annual trip to see the Myer Christmas windows and to have a ride on the Santa train. Eli has long had a fascination with clocks and has a new interest in 'the city' because pictures of the city all seem to have big clocks in them so he was very excited about it all. Freya couldn't wait to see Santa.
We got in and went to see the big clock in King George Square which Eli was extremely impressed with. He also enjoyed the windows but by the time we got to the Myer Santaland he was plainly tired. He did not want to go on the Santa train. He did not want to visit Santa! In fact he did not even want to be within the general vicinity of Santa. So Eli and I stood outside the room while Freya talked Santa's ear off. Eventually I was able to creep into the room with Elijah and he was even happy to give Santa a high-five but it was obvious that he was not going to sit with him for a photo so Santa asked me if I wanted to just take a photo of Freya with him. So I put Eli down on the ground and oh my goodness... instant heartwrenching ugly cry from Eli! It was clearly time to leave.
All was quickly perfect again in Eli's world again though when we left Santaland and ran straight into the wall display of CLOCKS!
