Anyhow, now that I've figured out how to put a text box up I can type stuff. Calvin is in love with pumpkins. It comes at a good time, because he's been in a phase where he dislikes a whole bunch of things. His stuffed Hobbes, the toy beaver, an owl toy, a bunch of pictures and fun things he used to like to do. He is acting fearful of things, and is now able to verbalise it all. We are working through all these new fears, which we think are to do with upheaval and changes that happened that confused him. Which means new things and change can be sources of more scary things. Fall is here and with it a bunch of different decorations everywhere (fall type and Hallowe'en type). He's been unsure of some things so far but not outright afraid yet. However the great thing is him finding something he really really enjoys: pumpkins! He sees them everywhere and points them out constantly. Today we painted a pumpkin craft and he was so excited and proud of it; he had to show a visitor where they were when we had them hanging to dry, then he couldn't wait to show Daddy when he got home. After they were dry he was excited to hang them up in the front living room window (facing in, so we can see them, at his insistence) and he gave me a happy hug and said they were beautiful. It was a nice way to end a day.
I'm going to have to switch blog providers because Weebly has gone the route of Google in not listening to customers and instead making everything tiny little non-labeled icons that only 19 year olds understand (I assume someone must understand them or they wouldn't get used). I can barely figure out how to make a post anymore. So silly! Not going to renew my paid website subscription with them unless they fix it up again.
