Sorry FIN, I am that mom that makes your Halloween costumes. I have to say, I'm rather proud of myself for this costume. Up until now, I just made quilts - I'm more proud of this outfit than I am of my quilts - mostly because you left it on your body for a whole 5 minutes. I can't even say you'll cuddle in a quilt for that long. But I made this 100% on my own. OK, I'm done talking about how awesome I am and will move on to you. Look how cute you are in this costume I made you :-)I was going to dress you up as a cowboy, and then borrow Karmen, the neighbor's Grey Hound/Golden Retriever mix (big dog) and put a fake saddle on her, but since you don't walk yet, you are much more believable as a monkey - some could argue - what we've evolved from. Oh yeah, I'd so put one of those Darwinian symbols on the mini-van, but then I would be marring the general beauty of the Odyssey (in the list of things I've learned from my dad - don't stick things to your vehicle).
Well baby boy - now its up to you to attempt to walk by Halloween. Less than 3 days until you turn 1. Then I can start telling you about the day of your birth on every birthday - how daddy went out for dinner while mommy was in labor and didn't bother bringing her back that martini he promised. In other words, life can be full of disappointment... Unless you take those lemons and mix them with tequilla - i'll teach you about that in a few more years.
I love you baby boy.
