Heading to the mall I have my doubts.
Santa is scary; I’ve heard that more than once.
Nearing Kris Kringle, an ask to go potty.
Avoid the inevitable? Mommy can’t say no. Right?
Hip to her hoax, I move us up.
Approaching the man, we wave.
Hesitant.
However, she verbally responds to his hello as her eyes lock on him in amazement.
Now on his lap, she asks for a truck.
So sweet. Santa doubts averted. Now her favorite.
School’s Halloween party tonight.
Proud to be a cupcake.
Walking in timid, never truly breaking that shell.
Quiet for the night but showing the Abby energy during the cake walk.
Suddenly the gorilla. A flinch, a jerk, a cry.
Peering around the room to always keep the scare in sight.
Halloween #1 ended.
