It was Family Day at the base this past Sunday, so Jackson and I met Phil there after his meeting in the morning. For those wondering, Phil has to work one weekend a month - that's why he was at work on a Sunday. He gets two Mondays off per month, though, so that makes up for it. Anyway, we ate lunch with friends and then walked around outside for a bit and visited some of the activities that were set up for kids. The kiddos got to wear their Halloween costumes and go "trick-or-treating" at all of the different booths that were set up. We didn't stay too long after eating lunch since we were past naptime and J was too young for most of the activities, but he did have fun walking around in his costume. I realized that I need to do some alterations on it before Halloween. The legs are really long on him and I'm going to try to attach the headpiece to the body of the dragon suit. I also need to throw it in the wash- the underside of the tail is almost black from dragging on the ground. He was such a cutie in that outfit, though.
By the way - J is a dragon for Halloween because Heidi wants to go trick-or-treating with us and wear her princess costume. We thought a princess and a dragon would be cute together. He was going to be a knight originally, but I couldn't find a knight costume that was small enough .
Well, I think Little Mr. Dragon just woke up from his nap. He took a
3 hour nap today!! Woo-HOO! When he first transitioned to one nap a day (about a month ago) his naps were only about an hour and a half, which was really just like dropping a nap. I guess he's more used to the one nap a day thing now b/c the past few days he's had 2-1/2 to 3 hour naps. It is so wonderful! He had his first cold last week (thanks to a combo of church nursery and MMR/chicken pox shots) and I originally thought that's why he was sleeping longer, but it has continued this week. He still has a runny nose, which I can't get to go away. I
hate it - any suggestions for what to do to stop a runny nose? Have a great week!

Hi Heather - Well you know with the weather here in Houston we see more than our share of runny noses - for everyday use we have the 'Baby Saline Spray', it comes in a can and delivers a very fine mist, and CR will actually sit still for it. But for a bad (cold-type) runny nose the Dr gave us some Bromhist (prescription) which we use, but sparingly, as it is alarmingly effective. Hope this helps - the costume pics are adorable! We are looking forward to Haloween too, and as of today the weather actually seems like Fall, here's to it lasting a week! : )
