READY FOR HALLOWEEN

Dear Spike:

About a year ago — when you were still growing inside your mother — your Great Aunt Karen opined that, come this time of year, you might be dressed up as a "Spooky Spookerson."

Your mother and I never really figured out what that was, but we still really love the way it sounds.

So sometimes, when you are having a meal, we call you a Milky Milkerson.

And sometimes, when you are doing your... um... thing... we call you a Poopy Pooperson.

And sometimes, when you are napping soundly (as you are right now) we call you a Sleepy Sleeperson.

Anyway, it's that time of year. And given that we still don't know exactly what a Spooky Spookerson is supposed to look like, we've tried a few things out...

I think the knit pumpkin hat combined with the cool sunglasses might make the ideal costume!

Dear Spike,
I laughed so hard at all the "...ersons" and all the great costumes, that your Grandpa came running!
Imagine that, your first Halloween and the big decision will be, which of your many costume should Spike trick-or-treat in?

Yes! She has become a spookerson.
How fun that you remembered. You made Aunt Karen very happy and Uncle Bruce (who knows that I cannot go a day without nick-naming something or someone) just laughed. Happy Halloween little Mia.
Love Great Auntie

Although it is the most difficult to say, I vote for the pumpkiny pumpkinerson.
