FEARS

Fear Inducing Pic

(I have to dress up for Halloween for work so Tillie graciously provided me a variety of special costumes that Chris was using to scare Ash)

As I have previously mentioned, Ashton is going through a spell where she has interesting fears. If we are out in public and she is uncomfortable or finished socializing, she will announce to everyone "I WANT TO GO HOME" and she will repeat it loudly or in my ear with a whisper until we leave or until I have distracted her.

Mom and I took her to BookPeople on 6th Street on Saturday for a Halloween Puppet Show. I had heard that it was a cute place but very Austiny so you never know what you will get and with the topic of Halloween - it could be cute or weird or scary. The upstairs kids area is adorable. We bought some Christmas gifts and played in all the toys and books. The seating area for storytime has 3 levels and is decorated very cute. The puppet show was interesting and many of the jokes were over her head but cute nonetheless. She kept her arm over her face for almost all of the show just barely peeking out but when it was over she came home and told Daddy that is was very funny. Thank Goodness as I was fearful of inducing nightmares and this kid doesn't sleep as it is. We finished off our Austiny day with lunch at Whole Foods - for all of you that know that I eat like a truck driver, this was so healthy that it caused fear in me!



Not scared like she should be!


Well she is Daddy's girl but he scares me from time to time!

She is too precious. I love that little outfit on her...she looks like a little doll baby! What is it with daddies trying to scare their kids??? I'm glad she isn't having nightmares.
