Halloween!

This wasn't technically Ben's first Halloween, he was four days old last year, but we decided to call it just that. Ben had a big day. He got to go to the big kid room, which is the toddler room, and hang out for the day. They had a party with cupcakes and other snacks and he met some new friends. He will be starting to transition here in the next week or two so it was a good day to "get his feet wet." Mrs. Angela said he did very well and is ready to move up as soon as he gets a little more steady on his feet! Yay! They are in for a shock today because he has been walking all over the house for the last two days! Still can't stand up by himself, but as long as he has something/one to pull up on he is good to go and takes off now!

Ok, back to Halloween. He took a loooooong nap. They wore him out good at daycare. He was so tired when I got there to pick him up that he was crying. Poor thing. He passed out as soon as I buckled him in the car and slept a good hour and a half before we went upstairs and woke him up. So, by 6:30 he was up, dressed and we were heading over to a friends house to start trick or treating. We went around the block with his three "girlfriends" and it started getting a little chillly so we headed back to the house. The girls were absolutely precious in their princess outfits and we went as a Pumpkin patch! If the girls are still into princesses next year we may just have to dress Ben as Prince Charming. :)

When we got home we played a little and Ben dumped out his candy. He found the Nerds and didn't want to put them down. They make a pretty decent rattle. Haha! We got him changed and ready for bed. Then Josh fed him his bottle and we were able to pry the Nerds out of Ben's hand. He had such a great day and slept very well that night, for the most part.

They made t-shirts. Their handprints made spiders. Too cute!
