Autumn

It is finally starting to feel like fall around here with temperatures down in the low 60s during the day and even some rain, ending our record braking dry streak. We had a wonderful summer of endless sunny days, but it is so refreshing to have cool air and rainy afternoons again.

I am so excited for Halloween as K understands holidays now and will be able to do some trick-or-treating this year, but I still don’t know what her costume will be. It is extra tricky since it needs to be easily layer able with tights/pants/coat/etc, cannot rely on something on her head since hats hoods and headbands are very hit and miss, and can’t be bulky/constraining. I have a few ideas but am still waiting to get started as her language is expanding so quickly now she may tell me what she wants to be.

We have been getting into the Halloween spirit with Curious George’s Boo Fest and Room on the Broom on Netflix. The Netflix version of Room on the Broom is so sweet and perfect, I might actually love it more than K does. Curious George wins every time so that’s an easy one – she has started walking around yelling “Boo!” at people and putting her hands up like a little cat about to pounce while she does and it is so sweet.
