Sunday in the park

We used the majority of the day to wind down from the big weekend, but we did manage to get Dennis out to visit his grandparents and visit the playground. He was delighted to climb up and slide down until it got too dark for him to see very well. Other than that, it was a usual day, lots of playing in his room and all.

He did have the first Halloween candy from his pumpkin today, one Reese's cup and two Smarties (not two packs, just two pieces). He loved it, of course, and he didn't want to eat his lunch after that. I had to hide the pumpkin in the pantry, but he knows it's in there. He points to the pantry and says pumpkin. It's adorable, but so far it hasn't worked and I've stayed strong in the face of an immense cuteness-for-candy campaign.

We talked a little bit about Thanksgiving and watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving dvd, and he enjoyed snuggling with me in the chair while we talked about what the characters were doing and talking about. He loved watching Snoopy, Woodstock, Charlie Brown, and Linus making toast and popcorn, and he pointed excitedly to the screen and said "cooking" and "bread". He loved Halloween so much that I want to get him excited about the next holiday coming up. There will be a houseful of people here to celebrate with him!
