Fall is here

Ty is getting so excited for Halloween. Even though we live among the palm trees now we are still enjoying all things fall, even though we are still enjoying our beach trips often. Aidan loves pointing out all the pumpkins she sees and Ty wears all his costumes on a daily basis. We are enjoying all our Halloween crafts, Ty and Aidan especially loved making our ghost and skeleton cupcakes. We are all looking forward to Halloween weekend with good friends, a fall festival, pumpkin patch, and the long awaited trick-or-treating. Last week Granny and Grandad came to visit for a few days and Ty and Aidan got to fly home with them and spend a week on the farm. We are missing our babies but we know how much fun they are having. On another note Chad and I had to make a hard decision of what to do for Ty. He has been in school for 2 months now and seperation anxiety has gotten hard for Ty. He is an extremely social child and loves play dates with friends, but he is going through a difficult time to be away from mommy. We decided that he just needs to be home with mommy right now and we may try again next fall. It was riping my heart out and I was crying as much (or more) than he was. The teachers loved him, and said he loved school once he got over the terror of me leaving. There were some mornings I would hide and watch him through the windows until he settled down and began to enjoy his activities. The directors got to know me well and had toys in their office for Aidan to play with. We got his evaluations and he excelled in everything, the teachers were extremely impressed with the fact that he knew all his shapes, colors, letters, numbers (they were especially impressed when he pointed out he knew what an octagon was) I know how much he will enjoy a class setting once he is able to overcome the fear of mommy leaving. I'm sad for him he had so much trouble but I'm alright keeping my baby home for just a little longer. It goes by so quickly, before I blink they will be grown and no longer sitting in my lap wanting me to read them stories.
