Thursday was dress-up day for Bubby at preschool. All the kids were to dress as their favorite character from a book. Megan checked in advance and all books—including comic books—were acceptable inspiration.
Naturally, Bubby chose the following character:
Clearly my grandson has an obsession. One my daughter is enabling, to be sure.
Today's question:
Who is your current favorite character from a book? (And don't worry—I won't expect you to dress like him or her.)
"Scary" is in the eye of the beholder. Or, more accurately, the one doing the scarin'. And the roarin'.
Bubby — October 27, 2011
Today's fill-in-the-blank:
The last time I trick-or-treated with a child was __________.
For Bubby's first Halloween, Megan dressed her precious little Bubby, then just over four months old, as the most huggable of elephants:
For Bubby's second Halloween, Megan dressed her still precious little Bubby as the most adorable of ducks:
For Bubby's third Halloween, yesterday, Megan wanted to continue with the theme of cute little animals. Bubby (and Preston) had a different idea -- and a little more input this year.
So, despite Megan's wish for continued cute and cuddly costumes, the still precious Bubby dressed instead as a ...
... tough little boxer, complete with sneers of "Ya wanna fight?!" accompanied by hits of the mits together!
So much for cuddly. Although, if you ask this grandma, the growing-too-quickly boy is still pretty darn cute.
Such is parenting, Megan. All good things surely must come to an end.
Fortunately, good things of another sort are always right there, just waiting to take its place.
Today's question:
It's the first of November -- what do you most look forward to this month? What do you least look forward to?
