Bat Pumpkin, Zora Cooks, Spiders, and a Story
Bat Pumpkin
This should have been taken sooner, but we kept forgetting. On halloween at speech therapy, they had him make a “bat pumpkin”. The picture on the box was a big pumpkin. The pumpkin they had was the one you see here on the right, the little pumpkin. The whole time he was doing the project, he was a bit dismayed that the pieces were “too big” and although he was coping ok, you could tell he wasn’t very happy. When we got home, he took the big pumpkin that I was planning on cooking with and took all the things off the little pumpkin and put it on the big pumpkin, finally pleased with the result. The sticky on the pieces isn’t great, so the pieces keep falling off. When either kid finds a piece missing they say ”uh oh” (and Zane adds “it’s broken”) and then fix the face. (which Zane declares “all fixed”). It is quite adorable.
Zane made some playdo at speech therapy. It was well played with. Zora found it and had a good time “cooking” with it.
Then Zane got it, asked for some cookie cutters, tried to flatten the dough (pretty dense and hard to flatten), and used the cookie cutters. Then he dug out a pan, put them in the pan, and told me they were “cooking”. So cool.
That face! lol.
My darling husband
To say he hates spiders would be an understatement. He went to the garage tonight to find a pair of pants (for the interview) that hadn’t made it’s way to the closet and discovered a box of clothes with the missing pants among some other clothes. He also discovered a spider. A biiiig spider. A spider that had him running into the house. He needed to finish getting the clothes out, so he rolled up his pants, tucked them into his socks, and used a stick (the piece that goes in the back of the trike to help guide it) to pick up each piece of clothes and shake it. 
And Finally, A Second milestone for Zane at bedtime tonight
Zane regaled Zach with a story tonight at bedtime. The first time we have heard (or at least understood enough to appreciate) a unique narrative from Zane.
