No Boos Here


I have learned a few things during the past year or so, and one nugget of wisdom I now take to heart is this ... if your child is not interested and/or downright set against doing some "fun" activity that you hope will result in laughs and cute photo ops (like for instance, sitting on Santa's lap, riding a carousel, going down the big slide, or say, trudging around the neighborhood in costume) skip the activity for now and go with that which does make your little one smile.

So, Halloween night found Owen happily wearing his camouflage ghost shirt and staying home to answer the door with us, a task he greatly enjoyed. I'm pleased to report it was a delightfully unfrightful night. And yes, I still got a cute picture!

I was wondering where my little buddy was. He knows the golden rule about it is better to give than recieve.

Hugs,

Wow - he's getting big!! Love that he wanted to hand out the candy - must be a Kokshetau thing - Jackson couldn't wait to get home to do the same thing!!
