Growing and Changing
My oft-referenced co-worker mentioned to me last week that part of her bedtime routine with her two-year-old daughter is “flying” her to bed. That used to be part of my routine with Connor, too: one loop Superman-style around the bedroom before landing in bed. We haven’t done that for months, though.

Connor filled up his pumpkin bucket in about an hour, after which we walked home and enjoyed just a little candy before bathtime.
