Today we went as a family for a little "Black Friday" shopping and ended up at the mall. Of course, Santa was there. Jackson said he wanted to see Santa so I [mike] took him in. I don't know why, but Santa didn't invite Jackson to sit on his lap, but instead Jackson just stood in front of him and talked. Santa asked him, "How have you been?" Jackson said, "I've been bad some. Sometimes I do bad things." Santa was impressed by his honesty and asked him if he was going to try to do better, to which Jackson said, "Yes." Then Jackson said, "I fall down and do bad things." (Translation - Jackson has been watching America's Funniest Videos and often the people on there fall down. Jackson calls that "doing bad things." Jackson runs around the living room and falls down and says he is "doing bad things.") So, essentially Jackson was telling Santa that he ran around the house and fell down on purpose and that was "being bad." Although, I think when Jackson was saying he did "bad things" that it did have a double meaning - getting in trouble and falling down like they do on TV.
After that, Santa asked Jackson what he wanted for Christmas. Jackson's only response was "a slinky." I'm not sure why he wants a slinky, maybe ask Courtney about that one. Santa asked if he wanted anything else. "No. Just a slinky."
Santa gave him a coloring book and asked him to color it and leave it under the tree for him. I'm sure it will be done.

He's wanted a slinky ever since we put one in the Operation Christmas Child box. He gets one about every year and they last about a week before he has them bent or broken.
