Playdate Thursday October 28, 2010

It was Connor's first official Halloween Party at his daycare and Granny was invited to represent Mom and Dad at the festivities. He was so dang cute all decked out in his elephant costume, having a good time, checking out everything from Granny's lap. He looks sober in this photograph but he had a great time.

The kids played games. When they yeahed so did Connor. When they clapped so did Connor. When they laughed so did Connor. I was amazed at how much participation he could do from my lap.

The kids whapped a pinata and Connor whapped a pinata. He was the first whapper because of his age. He was so dang cute as Shannon helped him take a good bead on the evil eye pinata. He got a pretty good hit more than once. I think they let him have more than his fair share of whaps. Perhaps? Me thinks they like him a wee bit.

Connor was particularly impressed with his candy sack. He didn't know it was supposed to have candy in it, he had fun with the empty, crinkly sack. When the pinata burst Connor bagged one piece of candy, he didn't care, but the other children shared till his bag was overflowing.

Then Connor and the other kids ate to their hearts content. Connor particularly liked the grapes, cantaloupe, cheese and hot dog treats. Believe it or not he was not about to eat any cotton candy. When the other children dug in, he turned away in disgust. When I finally coaxed him into a wee bite he grimaced like I had fed him the worst food on the planet. Later, when Mom tried to give him a bite, he continued to turn away. Now, Smarties on the other hand he handled with the aplomb of any two year old.

He was so dang cute. And that Katie, now, she knows how to throw a party!
