Happy Halloween!
I felt it only appropriate to write about Myer’s first Halloween. We probably won’t be trick or treating too much tonight since Myer hasn’t progressed into the candy stage yet. He is still enjoying his pureed foods and since I don’t think they make a snickers baby food, we’ll stick to handing out the candy to others instead. Myer has two costumes much like celebrities with their wedding dresses. First, he will start as an elephant or republican as we like to say, and then he will transition into his skeleton attire for bedtime. We are expecting around 100 kids so we have a ton of candy to hand out. I just hope Myer realizes the importance of his job tonight. Some of the kids in the neighborhood mean business when it comes to candy. In fact, our neighborhood runs a hayride through the streets, so you can get slammed with over 20 kids at a time. It is a madhouse, but at the same time, it is a lot of fun. I love seeing the neighborhood come to life in this way. Hopefully, next year we’ll be able to participate in all the festivities with our little elephant/skeleton. I can only imagine what costume he’ll pick next year.
On another exciting topic, Myer’s 2nd cousin Willa was born this morning. Chad’s cousin, Katherine gave birth on her due date to Willa Avery. I haven’t seen her in person yet, but from the pictures she is going to be as beautiful as her mother and as charming as her dad. We can’t wait to meet the true Halloween “pumpkin”!
It still amazes me that we are already 7 months into this journey with Myer. He gets cuter every day and I am reminded how much of a miracle he really was. I can’t imagine my life without him because he brings so much joy. I am looking forward to the upcoming holiday season because I am learning that everything through a child’s eyes is that much better. We’ll start by seeing Halloween differently tonight….
