For Halloween this year, I wanted to dress Silas up as a character he liked. He has quite a fascination with Elmo and Barney at the moment, but Josh adamantly refused to dress him in either of those costumes. So we decided to dress him up as a carpenter. He absolutely adored wearing overalls like Josh and having a toolbelt like Josh and sporting a bit of beard stubble like Josh- as soon as he put his overalls on, he ran to the mirror pointing to himself and shouting "Daddy!" He initially turned around in circles (like a dog chasing his tail) trying to put his hammer in its holder, but had it all figured out by the end of the night. There is a good chance you will continue to see pictures of Silas in this costume- it was the first thing he asked for when he woke up Saturday morning and he was content to wear it all day and night again.
Halloween has reminded us just how fast kids grow up. It is incredible to think how much Silas has changed since last Halloween when he was our cute little Yoda who couldn't even sit up. Now he is our rambunctious little carpenter toddler who loves to run around carrying his hammer, and can actually say the word "hammer" (he practically says a new word every day now),and adored wearing the toolbelt and overalls because he actually knows that those are what his dad wears to work.
Sigh, what will he be capable of next Halloween?! At least he still makes a pretty cute Yoda!
