Dear LittleDude,
Today we celebrated your first Halloween with Daddy home! You didn't want to wear the hood of your penguin costume, but we didn't mind. We were just happy to finally celebrate Halloween and go trick-or-treating as a complete family.
PawPaw, Lulu (the pink skeleton), and Gammoo came along, but Gammoo had to wait at the magic show near the entrance because her broken foot hurt too much to walk all the hills at the zoo. You seemed to have fun watching all the other kids in their costumes, playing the with the light-up bats I bought for you and Lulu, and holding out your bag for all the people to fill with candy, but you never said "Trick or treat" until we got back into the car and started driving away! (We'll work on the timing for next year.) It's okay, though. You did point out the water (because you wanted to go swimming), the ducks, a llama, the rhino, and the hippo. We didn't know that you knew how to say llama, rhino, and hippopotamus!
After trick-or-treating, we ate at Bob Evans. You were so hungry that the waitress had to bring you biscuit because you tried to steal one off a nearby table! Then, of course, you refused to eat your chicken strips and decided to sit under the table and play. I think it must be kind of a like fort under there. If that's the case, can I join you next time? I like forts!
I love you.
Love, Mommy
