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.
It was then that I realized how fast Connor is growing.
This is “going to work,” according to my five-year-old: seeing who can make the most tally marks on a piece of paper.
When you run out of shredded Mozzarella for your tortilla pizzas, you have to grate some smoked Gouda, instead.
The weather was perfect, and we all had a great time! A couple of houses were extra generous with the candy, since they knew there wouldn’t be many kids coming by. We actually only saw about half a dozen other kids while we were out. Connor especially enjoyed meeting a fellow trick-or-treater dressed as his buddy Sonic the Hedgehog!
Connor filled up his pumpkin bucket in about an hour, after which we walked home and enjoyed just a little candy before bathtime.
Connor’s classmate brought Halloween treats for everyone on Pajamas and Princesses day!
