counting his loot

Little does he know his stash would be trashed the next morning. Thankfully we didn’t go to enough houses for me to feel guilty about tossing the handful of gobstoppers, taffy and otherwise inappropriate-for-a-two-year-old candy we had collected. And amazingly enough there has been no mention of the missing candy thus far.

“Cheers, Mama!” ...he has no idea how I will betray his beloved suckers once he heads to bed.

Here is the sleepy guy rising from his post-Halloween nap today. After a late night and a belly full of sugar, his nap today stretched from a wake-up time of 2:30pm to a late 4pm. Hopefully we can still get him in bed tonight.

And Levi is walking!!

No, not really. But he is crawling. My sister jokingly rebuked me for how little I share about Levi’s life. After spending all last year obsessively detailing Brighton’s every move, I guess anything will seem like a step back. That’s the benefit of the first child…what else did I have to do besides comment on every new fingernail and stream of drool he produced? Levi is not nearly as documented, which is probably a good thing for all involved. Except for those of you dying to know what his latest diaper contained. And for those readers, sorry to disappoint.
