Is he REALLY gone?

As I mentioned in the post about St. Nick's Day, Austin was a bit leery whenever we'd tell him Santa was here. The first night, when I announced that Santa had left him a surprise, he ran into our "condooo" and hid under the covers until we promised him that Santa was really gone.

It only took him a few nights to realize that Santa leaving something in his stocking was a good thing...not something to be scared of! Santa left all kinds of goodies for him...candy, books, cars, movies and even a coloring book at going on the big boy potty (which actually worked, even if only for ONE night). I have a feeling we won't have to coax him to check his stocking next year!
