Happy Halloween!

We had an exciting Halloween here on CBL. Although, I have to admit, a week ago I wondered if we'd even get Thompson into his costume. After some coaxing last week, using the turtle as a pillow during nap and bed times, teaching him how to sign "turtle", and getting him into it for a few minutes each day, Thompson was anxious to become a turtle last night and even provided a bit of a waddle in his walk. The evening began with an excursion to our church's family-friendly Halloween party "Hoopla". While there, Thompson saw several farm animals, rode on a hayride, devoured some popcorn, had his first taste of a sno-cone for the first part of the evening and even scored some candy along the way. Afterwards, we returned home to close the night with a bit of trick-or-treating (or "surprise" as Thompson chose to say as he added that word to his vocabulary list last week!) around the neighborhood.
