Henry has been quite apprehensive of the Santa Claus at the local mall. We have walked by and looked at Santa the last couple of weeks at the indoor market. At first, he needed to be convinced to get within 20ft of him. The next week, he was willing to stand closer and watch Santa sit in his chair. Each week he has gotten a little closer. Finally, last week his friend Wren offered to walk up with him. With the extra help, he made it to see Santa up close.
He refused at multiple steps, pausing at the ramp until Wren pulled him forward. He really wanted his candy cane.
After getting his candy cane, he pulled back a little bit.
I asked him to stand for a picture and he stood far away, and then with a little time and convincing he moved closer to Wren.
The two of them posed for a nice picture before they left Santa.
