My Little Ladybug

Syd's first Halloween came and went and she didn't know any different. I had fun dressing her up in her little ladybug costume. She had fun trick-or-treating with her big cousins, Emma the good witch, Olivia the white fairy, Nicholas the turtle (and birthday boy). She lasted about 10 houses, then she was done.

She got to wear her costume on her first field trip to the pumpkin patch with her early intervention class. She liked listening to Jimbo playing the banjo in the barn. She also enjoyed watching all the farm animals, especially the chickens. The bumpy tractor ride rocked her right to sleep, so she missed out on picking out her first pumpkin.

I guess the first year is a little selfish fullfillment, she could've stayed at home for both activities for all she cared. But I have cute pictures and happy memories to share with her when she gets older, and that makes it worthwhile.
