I had so many ideas for Halloween costumes this year... a train conductor, a lion or a Mustang football player. While we were out and about one day, I saw a giraffe costume on sale so I bought it as my back up. Well, it's a good thing I did because Grant was a giraffe this year!
Grant walking to his class on Thursday. They had a Halloween party and were allowed to wear costumes. I just love that he wouldn't give up the blanket. Not a rare occurrence in our house, but it looks so cute in combination with the costume.
"Mom, I can't wait for the party to start!"
We went to the ballpark around the corner from our house today. It was such a beautiful day and we wanted to let Grant explore! And he did! We spent over an hour just looking around, climbing bleachers and running the bases. I also taught Grant to say, "BOO!" We have been practicing all week. I didn't think I could get him to say, "Trick or Treat." But when we got to the Trunk or Treat, he was so overwhelmed I was lucky that he said, "Thank you."
One of the first games Grant went for at the Fall Festival was the basketball goal. He really wanted to get the ball in the hoop...
... but he needed a little help.
"I am one cool dude!"
Grant's friend, Michael, came to the Fall Festival. Grant just went everywhere Michael went. They were both sitting on the curb, so I tried snapping a picture. Grant fell backwards just as I took the picture. Michael's expression is priceless.
I did manage to get a picture of the boys a few minutes later. Side note: Grant was done with the binky last week. We even were going down for naps without it. I was only letting him have it at night when he went to sleep. This week has been a totally different story. He needs both his binky and his blanket at ALL times. I don't know what happened.
One of the ladies at Trunk or Treat passed out bubbles. What a great idea! Grant loved trying to catch them and Gary even helped him blow his own bubbles.
"BOO!" Well, he never actually said it, but he did pull candy from the buckets and put it in his pumpkin. And he did say, "Thank You" each time.
Tippi and PawPaw's trunk. How cute!
Gary, Grant and me.
Me and my little giraffe. Oh, I also tried teaching Grant to say, "Giraffe." I had almost given up, but yesterday he started to say, "Gaff." Close enough in my book!
Grant, Tippi and PawPaw.
Hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween! Can't wait to see some of those munchkins in their costumes!
