Happy Halloween

Cleo went as a lamb. I was mutton dressed as lamb. Okay, a mama sheep. Very close.

This afternoon, as I was singing her to sleep for her nap, we had this exchange:

Cleo: "Next Howlaween, I want to dress up as Dark Vader, okay?"
Me: "Um, sure, sweetie. That's fine" (pause) "Do you know someone who dressed up as Darth Vader this year?"
Cleo, breathily, impressed: "Ian!"

So, there you go. Innocent lamb one minute, wooed by the dark side (boys!) the next. Babyhood is quite definitely over.

    Hi,
    There's an award for you on my blog. It's something I usually don't do, but figured why not let people I find inspiring know about it. You're one of them Anna:)
    Love,
    Nermine

    So glad you are back blogging! I've missed your terrific vocabulary and very specific Anna-humor. I'm going to find Cleo's storybook, think of her (and you) when I decide to take a nap in the middle of the day, and write up what it is that fills my days. love, Ca-role the Canuck

Hi, my name is Anna, and I'm anonymous! Well, kind of. If you're one of the people who's lucky enough to know both Blogging Me and Real-Life Me, please don't use my full name, the names of my family members, my hometown, or the name of my pet elephant (oops, I think I just outed myself) in your comment. My paranoid family and I thank you: thank you!

Also, I moderate all the comments. So if you slip up and tell everyone my social security number (or any other personally identifiable information), don't worry, I just won't publish your comment.
