Fall Thoughts from Kenson

The fall season is upon us and with that, you should know how things look through the eyes of someone experiencing it all for the first time.

I have purposely avoided the Halloween displays in the stores just because some of them have scary stuff and because we don't really do a lot of Halloween anyway. So Kenson's first experience with the lighted displays have been Christmas ones with the blow up snowmen, lighted reindeer, etc.. One of the ones we saw had lots of snowmen which really caught his attention. A few weeks later we were eating at Carlos O'Kellys and they had an inflatable witch at the door. Kenson was mesmerized. He ran right up and called out, "Snowman!" Needless to say, the restaurant employee standing at the front counter was amused. Good to know he can generalize and attach similar meanings to similar things, I guess.

Moving on to more witchy fun...
My mother in law gave us a fiber optic witch which D brought up a few days ago. I plugged it in and showed it to Kenson who promptly called it a snowman. After reviewing the correct name, he looks at it carefully, starts pondering, and thoughtfully says, "Boobs?" As in, "Does she have boobs?" I'm just glad he wasn't lifting up her skirt to see what was under there!
