Happy? Halloween

Thomas doesn't like halloween. He doesn't like books about pumpkins, books about halloween, pumpkins, costumes, or the pumpkin patch. He just plain does not like it! We took Thomas to the pumpkin patch to get pumpkins for the porch. One would think that this would be fun. He loved it last year. This year, he screamed the whole time we were there and cried the whole way home. Fun, fun! Here's a picture of Thomas (tears wiped away) and Daddy. This is the only picture from the pumpkin patch. Guess I won't be scrapbooking!



Thomas started at a new daycare a week ago today. His old center had too much turn over and was struggling with consistency-something our little Thomas thrives on. So, now he goes to Carol's house around the corner. He is doing really well there and is enjoying it. He is napping 2-3 hours every afternoon. A far cry from the 1 hour at the last place. Carol provides the meals at this daycare. A hot breakfast, am snack, hot lunch, and pm snack. She commented after his first day that she "has never seen a toddler eat so much food!" I guess Carol will be losing money on the whole food providing deal now that Thomas is in attendance. On the flip side, our grocery bill is lower now that I don't have to send a cooler with him to school every day!


He's having a Halloween party at Carol's house tomorrow. I'm sending my camera just in case she can get his costume on him (something I have been unsuccessful at). Best of luck to Carol.


Oh yeah, his new favorite word is "NO!" How long do the terrible two's last?
