Santa in July


Back in December the Elf on a Shelf made quite the impression on Landon.
Immediately he tried to be good for Santa, and this coincided with his transition to a big bed.  So we would often say, stay in bed and go to sleep because the Elf and Santa were watching.
Christmas came and went and still at night, Landon would say, "...mommy, tell Santa..." about him going to bed like a good boy or whatever good thing he was working on.
We transitioned to the Leprechaun, Easter Bunny, even a "Bedtime Fairy" but Santa always comes back.  Landon mentions him regularly in his prayers, when he's trying to be good, and commonly when he is going to bed.
So as he does different good things, Santa is still arriving at our house with random little treats and notes...even in July.

Then about a week ago, Dallas goes to get Landon out of bed and he sends him to go to the bathroom...when I hear "Oh, thank you Santa!" Dallas and I are both wondering what it could be, when we see two skittles left on the counter (forgotten from the day before).
