Big Bird, Radar, Monkey, Mom & I 2 days ago

Well, I have been “rockin” more. Yep, I now have a Sesame Street dvd. We have been using that to dance. I also just got a “wiggles” dvd, but haven’t watched or used it yet.

The kids fall down a lot on the floor in Sesame Street. Mom & I do NOT fall down! I just touch my toes. I sure hope the Wiggles are less into falling down! We are having loads of fun besides the falling down part.

We all have our own Dollar Store hobby horses that we gallop around the house on. My Mom gets into that one so much, Monkey & I exchange the, “She’s crazy,” glance. Monkey & I ride much more sedately! If anyone appears at the door & sees my 74 year old Mom charging through the house on her hobby horse, neighing & yelling giddy-up…the next people at the door will have strait jackets. My Mom REALLY gets into the hobby horse!

We also have gotten some bean bags, maracas & dancing ribbon wands we wave. Let me tell you childercise is quite a work out!

The Fish Swam... 4 days ago

or to put it more accurately – Monkey wore his costume for Halloween. I had him wear parts of it for several days getting used to it, on walks. He loves his walks & tolerates things like coats & hats in order to go for his walk.

It was a splendid evening!

Glub glub says the Fish 2 weeks ago

Monkey is crazy about FISSSSSSHIES!!!! He wants to watch them on the computer, my betta, his dad’s tank. He will run to computer, point at it, sign, “more” and yell fishies. His first full sentence, lol I play 3 fish games on facebook so he can watch the fishies.

It seemed that the most appropriate costume for him would be to be a fish. I spent the majority of yesterday hunting supplies at thrift stores & a fabric store & sewing. I made pants out of a fish print that had him excitedly gibbering at the fabric store. He wore them home.

The hoodie vest is orange and he has a revamped stuffed fish on the top of his hoodie. Then he has shoulder epaulet fins, a big back fin & a tail. It turned out really well, if not anatomically correct. Now if he will wear it -lol. He just keeps shaking his head, “No.” Maybe I had better make a fish print tunic, buy a doctor’s bag & call him a pediatrician as a back up.

Halloween is our family’s favorite holiday. Last year, I missed Daddy terribly. Monkey was only 6 months old & not interested in the festivities. This year, while young, he is more excited. We have been to a pumpkin patch, decorated & read Halloween books.

I am so looking forward to Halloween this year, even if my all day project of a fish costume goes unworn. :D
