A few weeks ago we started preparing for Halloween and the fall season. We got a few pumpkins, got the mini hay bales out, the mum is was in full bloom and got out some other autumn decor indoors. Tate has loved seeing the pumpkins on everyone's doorsteps, loves the glowing skeleton heads at our daycare provider's home and really really loves watching the "itch" on youtube with Daddy.
A couple weeks ago Aaron, Tate and I got home after dark and had parked in the driveway. As I got Tate out of the truck he looked out across the dark yard and he said to me, "ooh look at that "itch" Mommy!" At that time I had heard him say "itch" a few times, but hadn't yet figured out what the meant. Oddly, I thought maybe he had an actual itch or scratch. By the time I picked him up from daycare the next day, I figured out "itch" meant witch to Tate, or at the point, anything Halloween related. So we showed him some videos of the wicked witch from The Wizard of Oz and he's been so obsessed with witches ever since. Since then Tate has also learned some other Halloween characters: witches, ghosts, skeletons and monsters. It's so fun hearing him say these new words and what his imagination can conjure up.
Next battle: actually wearing his Halloween costume. To be continued...
