Zander and I did yard work today for what I hope is the last time this year. He cried when I threw out the Jack-o-Lanterns that turned into a gelatinous pile of pumpkin goo. He stomped through leaves when there were too few for him to tunnel through. He flung himself gleefully into the shallow pile and then got upset with me when he landed with a thunk on the hard ground. I understand his frustration. We had some great times this fall. I’m sad to see such a wonderful season go, but I’m excited for the holiday season too.
We also went to the enchanted forest at Menard’s. I think Grandma and Grandpa are going to have to come with us for the pure enjoyment of watching him. He was so wide-eyed over all the decorated Christmas trees and lights. He kept repeating “Wowwwww!” and “Yaaaaaaay” in tones that ranged from excited to hushed. When we wheeled past the musical light display, he started getting down with his bad self right there in the cart, arms grooving to the music. He didn’t even struggle to get out of the cart like he usually does. I can’t wait for Christmas.
