Halloween in our neighborhood was a lot of fun again this year. Colleen made Miles a fantastic digger costume out of diaper boxes and colored duct tape. She outdoes herself every year with these costumes. Miles was really excited about it until he put it on, when he almost immediately decided he didn't want to wear it anymore. So we trick-or-treated as a guy in a flannel shirt with a hard hat. everyone thought he was Bob the Builder. The highlight of the night for me was when we got a trick-or-treater dressed as Spiderman and Miles thought for all the world that it really was Spiderman. He screamed and jumped up and down and followed this poor kid down the block saying, "Hi, Spiderman. Hi, Spiderman." It was pretty great. Miles loved the whole halloween season. He like walking around the neighborhood and looking at the pumpkins and spiderwebs people put out.
Miles has been into superheroes for a while now, but it's really kicked into high gear lately. Our pretending games have really coalesced around a team of the Hulk, Spiderman and Iron Man fighting giant robots. He also has a bunch of Batman shirts and will tell everyone that he is Batman while wearing them.
His language and development have been really great too. He recognizes emotions and will tell us when he's scared or sad. He also tells us when other people are scared or sad too. It's fun to watch that sort of thing evolve and grow in a person.
Here are pictures and video for the month!
