Preparing for Halloween
I would be shameless and say that I am absolutely giddy with excitement over the coming Halloween. My son already has three costumes (tiger costume, Hogwarts uniform, Gryffindor Quidditch robe) and I have been scouting for trick or treating activities around the city. Plus, we're sure to go trick or treating at Ayala, Alabang, where it has been a tradition for decades now and where villagers really go out of their way in decorating their yards and providing good treats to knocking ghouls and angels.
I'm excited. It's times like these that all the antsy nights and growth spurts and teething woes and breastfeeding struggles become all worth it, because I have a beautiful baby to doll up. And yes, it helps that he's a very outgoing boy who actually revels in the attention.
I'm excited. Have I already said that? :)
Now, i'm just thinking of halloween treats to buy which we'd give in turn at my BIL's house. My SIL bought lots of Divi treats last year and we do have a lot of candies already here at home (all bought in the US, courtesy of my parents) but am thinking, maybe I should have bought more of the prize thingies for my son's party so I can use them on Halloween too.
Oh, and my friends who have babies are also all excited about my son's party.
So yes, Halloween equals excited moms.
I have always wanted to be a Mom. But I have stumbled many times in my journey. Still, I continue investing myself. I continue stumbling as I learn. I continue loving. I continue reaping the benefits of being an intentional parent. And everyday, I am fulfilled.
I may have few pictures with my son, since I usually take the photographs. But his first stories happened with me there for him. Therein lies my privilege.

Halloween is almost here and I am trying to figure out what Sam should be for his first Halloween.
