On Friday, Halloween, Little T's class had a fall celebration party and Kennan, TB and I were among the many relatives that showed up to take part in the revelry. First the kids went out to pick pumpkins.
The kids and their guests then rotated around several activities set up in the classroom. One of them was pumpkin decorating.
Another was a spooky dart board!
There was spooky music playing in the background and Little T wanted to dance so I did our version of "The Monster Mash"!
One activity involved finger painting a bat. Little T didn't want anything to do with the finger paints so he colored one instead. Although he does tolerate stuff on his hands better than he did before there are times when he just doesn't want to and that's okay!
Another activity involved using tongs or tweezers to pick up small spooky toys and get them into the pumpkin.
Then came the kids' favorite part of the party--food! Everyone said it was the quietest the kids' had been all day!
TB was busy taking pictures all during the party. Now he encouraged Little T to smile.
Tomas reacted as if to say enough already, Pop-Pop!
This picture of Little T with his teacher came out beautifully! We all had a wonderful time!
Afterwards, I wanted to take pictures of some of the fall colors in the area. The first is of a tree/bush in our yard; the other two were taken at nearby Brendan Byrne State Park. This is the time of the year I love best, when the leaves have changed their colors.
Yesterday Kennan needed to work and so TB and I spent the day with Little T. We took him for his speech therapy session and I'm so impressed and gratified by what the therapists are able to accomplish with him. He won't practice his speech skills with us yet but I heard him clearly say all his vowels, some consonant sounds, "erase" and the sentence "I see apple". Way to go, T! By the end of the day, TB and I were ready to drop--he's a very active little boy!

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR WOMEN AND SINGLE STRAIGHT MEN BE PLATONIC FRIENDS? Not if the women are also straight and single--that's what I've found to be true when I tried to be "just friends" with a guy. When it was he that wanted to be the friend, I tried but inevitably developed crushes on them and then was hurt and angry when they didn't reciprocate. :P
