Halloween, raaaar!

So, this Halloween Dylan ended up being a Dragon. At first, we had actually gone to the mall with him and he picked out a giraffe costume for himself from Old Navy. After a couple of weeks of asking him if he was excited to be a giraffe for Halloween, and him responding, "NO!....my want to be a dragon, raaar!" we finally gave in and exchanged the giraffe costume for a dragon costume. After Keith and I spent a very fun weekend seeing Phish on Friday and Saturday in Atlantic City and Dylan having fun with his Grandma at the beach, we headed back home to Cranford and went to Drew and Mindy's "Hallerween" party for a while where Dylan was surrounded by many cute, costumed kids. As it was getting dark, we headed back home and trick-or-treated around our neighborhood. It was Dylan's first time trick-or-treating and he caught on pretty well, asking after each house"one more house???"

After collecting all his candy, our little munchkin laid it all out on the floor so he could look at it, organize it, and pick a couple of pieces to eat. It turns out he really likes candy.

Other cute little things: as he picks up better pronunciation and more and more words each day, Dylan is now able to have full conversations with us. And he has really funny comments -- like today when we had to get up early because I had to be in court in New York. First he was very confused as to why were up while it was still "night out?!" And then I told him I had to go to work and take him to his Abu's house, but since we were up at the same time as Daddy, we were going to drive Daddy to the bus stop. He answered: "that's a great idea!"

We always get to see his little brain working in really cute ways...like, since he knows it sometimes only rains a little...he calls the opposite, storms, "big rain." And since he knows he's sometimes just a little tired, when he's really tired, he says he's BIG TIRED.

Yesterday, when he was driving in the car with Keith, Keith asked him if he loved the song that was playing on the radio and Dylan answered: "NO, my no love that song, my love you!"

Does it even get any cuter than that?!
