Sorry for the delay in updating. I was waiting for Halloween to happen first.
Last week was an excellent week with Oscar, all our classes went well, and then we had the lead-up to Halloween. On Saturday night, Grandma Lollie got a preview of Oscar’s costume and he was adorable. On Sunday, I realized I hadn’t bought a pumpkin for carving yet, so on the way to a family event, we stopped at JCs Orchard and picked up a nice one.
On Monday, Oscar and I went to our Musical Baby Bean class on March Road and before going in, I changed him into his alternative costume for Halloween: Winnie the Pooh dressed as a bumble bee. Once again this week, there were only 2 of us in class and the other parent had dressed her little guy up as well, so it was all good. We then headed to Lauren’s office to show Oscar off in his main Halloween costume
and he was a hit as a little Happy Meal. We then popped by Grandma Ruth’s for a visit and fed Oscar lunch and then home for nap time. The night itself was a bust, as we only had 9 kids visit the door, so next year we aren’t going to hand out candy, but just go door to door with Oscar instead.
I am really enjoying my time so far with Oscar. It’s been almost a month now that I have been off and the time is just flying by. I love all the time I get to spend with him and how much more of a bond I am creating with him. I feel I am very lucky. I think all Dads should experience this time in their child’s life as you will never get it back again.
