When most people enter the end of August - they start thinking about September. Labor Day, getting out fall clothes, etc. Not me! My mind skips September and goes straight to October...which is why I'm ALREADY thinking about D's birthday and Halloween costume.
You probably knew this about me already - or at least were clued in after last year's multi-post costume voting. I think I started that mid-August.
I've controlled myself this year, and am just now allowing myself to start thinking about it. When my 7 year old niece asked me what D was going to be for Halloween when I saw her on Saturday, I figured that was all the reason I needed to start the planning. So - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. There will probably be a costume vote on here sooner rather than later.
However, I have to control it. D's 2nd birthday (who can believe this?) is before Halloween and I have to get on the ball with that too. No big bashes this year, probably just immediate family, but I still want to get the creative juices flowing. I will have some practice for that in a few weeks at the breastfeeding group's two year celebration.
Even though there's close to two months for the actual day, I've been thinking about gifts I want to get him since about Easter. I just keep adding things to my mental list. It's hard because we have limited space here - so there's no giant toys to be had. But, I've planned for months and months to get him some kind of car ramp/garage/racetrack for all his matchbox cars, etc. After witnessing the full hour that he sat having a BALL by himself with my nephew's toy racetrack - I realized that this is the gift we have to get him. I'll just find a way to get the other stuff for Christmas or something. I've already been scouting toy parking garages with ramps, which I think is the best idea as a result of our space-restraints. We'll see how it goes! Yep, you may get to vote on that one as well! :)
