Halloween, Climbing, Prayers, etc

This year Ian was a cowboy, like Woody on Toy Story. Toy Story has been one of his favorite movies this year. Jaiden was a zebra. I got the costume at a garage sale for 0.50, I couldn’t pass it up and he was a very cute zebra.

Halloween week was very busy. Thursday, for story time at the library, we went trick or treating to a few businesses downtown. At the pizza place they gave each kid a small slice of pizza. Friday night we headed over to the church for trunk or treat (it was not our ward that organized it though, there were several families from our ward there though). Saturday afternoon, while Rex was fixing the truck, I took the boys trick or treating downtown Craig to the businesses on the main street. It was very crowded and I think I was going to the wrong direction.

Jaiden has discovered (about two weeks ago now) that he can climb. Before he would just use the bottom step to hold on to to stand up. The first time he climbed, I wasn’t watching. He fell and I noticed from the corner of my eye that he fell from higher up. He cut his lip and had a fat, bruised lip for a couple days. He is getting better at not falling, I think he has realized he can’t stop in the middle and sit on the stairs. He is always on the stairs, oh joy. He has yet to try and go down, but I’m fine with that.

Ian said the cutest/funniest prayer the other night. He had he was going to help me say the prayer, which just means that he says it by himself. This was the gist of the prayer, “Heavenly Father, Jesus loves me. Everybody loves me. I will be baptized later. Daddy will put me under the water and I will come up. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.” We have talked about him being baptized somewhat and he is excited, but does understand that it will be “later.”
