Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween tomorrow. We're looking forward to our first trick-or-treating experience this year. Plus we plan to be home in time to hand out plenty of candy to other little ghouls as well. Daddy got away without carving a pumpkin this year and last night I carved our last one with Fender's favorite little fish.
HONEY HINT: 2 teaspoons LOCAL honey/day = kids less prone to allergies. For those of you with children out there, particularly those prone to seasonal allergies, this was a tip from Fender's doctor at his two year check up. The key is local honey, like at a produce stand or farmer's market. And don't give it before bed of course, because it isn't good for the teeth if it sits in the mouth all night.
Other than all of that...just thought I would note that Fender has really taken to trying to dress himself this week more than usual. First he tried his socks and shoes...not a lot of luck with that yet, but practice will make perfect. And last night he was determined to put his shorts and shirt on all by himself. He needed a little help, but he nearly did it all on his own. Won't be long now. Here are a couple of pics of him trying to get his shoes on.

Again, an amazing pumpkin!
Question: Did your pediatrician think you should wait for the honey until age 2? I have seen 1 and 2 so I am not sure which one to go by.
Finn is still trying to master taking off his own shirt. I don't think I realized how hard it was until I was trying to explain it to him! :-)
I love the pumpkins! You are very talented.
Our doctor didn't specify so you will want to ask your own doctor, but everything I've read on it says not to give to children less than 12 months old. And I've corrected my post to say 2 teaspoons not tablespoons. My fingers don't recognize what my head tells them sometimes.
And thanks for the sweet comments on the pumpkins. They were lots of fun to make this year.
