see, we have this cow costume for halloween. mosey tried it on at home, and he loves it... i mean, LOVES it! he danced around in front of the mirror for a good long while and loved having the cow face kiss the mirror above his head. when it came time to take it off, it was a really challenging time in his life.
we put it on him this weekend at the pumpkin carving party, because, well, it seemed like an appropriate time to let him have some time wearing it. and he stood there for a couple of minutes outside, looking around at all the other people there. i think he realized that they were not dressed like cows. and he quietly told me, "off, mama," as he tugged softly at the cow costume. i guess even 2-year olds get self-conscious about not fitting in. it made shane and me both a bit sad for him, and we decided together that he'll have to have some experiences enjoying that costume around other kids that are dressed up to make up for it.
in other news, last night, while i mosey was taking a bath, i took a moment to pluck a few of my stray eyebrows. at that very moment, mosey started saying repeatedly, in very clear and deliberate speech, "thank you, sweetheart." haha! i couldn't decide if he was just practicing/repeating what shane must have said earlier, or if he was genuinely thanking me for taking care of those stray hairs. :)
also, mosey has had really disrupted sleep for over a week now. what the heck, edgar? he's been up past 9pm a lot, just talking to himself in bed. several nights, also he's woken up in the middle of the night crying (which is really unusual for mo). i wonder if he's going through some growth spurt or milestone thing. *sigh* i guess only mosey knows the answer to that.
lovelove,
me
