I'm so out of practice I couldn't even think of a good headline. To recap the last couple of months in 30 seconds or less: worked, ended job, went to Miami with the lean mean walking machine. And here we are. October already. Where did the time go? One minute you're enjoying summer, the next, you learn Katie Holmes is with bump.
The kid is doing great. The tooth count is now at 12. Numbers 13 and 14 are poking through. Walking: forwards and backwards. Running: dangerously fast. Talking: sorta. Freakishly obsessed with: bananas, raisins, feet (other people's), balloons, shampoo bottles, and Cookie Monster. (It's not that he really likes Cookie Monster, it's just the only one of the Sesames he can say. It goes something like this: "Cccccooh. Ccccooh." And then he laughs.)
For Halloween, H. is going to be a lion. A Children's Place lion to be exact. He knows that a lion roars, so rather than having him endure the injustice of being, oh say, a dog (he doesn't know that one), we let him be the animal he knows how to do. (He also knows snake, but I didn't see that on the rack. Nor the owl.) We are hoping that LSP will hang with him in public at the local Halloween parade because I have insider information that she is going as someone who is way too cool to ever be seen in person with a lion. Let's just say he can be one of her groupies. If she lets him.
Also? Look what I saw on our deck yesterday. Need I remind you we live in Brooklyn?
I sent this picture to my husband who informed me this was not a grasshopper but a praying mantis. I think it must be praying for Katie Holmes.
I did not know Katie Holmes is with bump. I still haven't seen much tv since our return, though I did manage to peruse the Thursday Styles section in the NYTimes. And yeah, LSP will do the Halloween parade with H. For sure. He's her Homey.

Is LSP going as JLo? She is, isn't she?!
So glad to see you back, jacks. I missed you. And glad to hear that the boy is doing so well -- will you post some Halloween pics of the scary lion?
xxoo

I wander how this news will impact his children from that other marriage with, um, what's her (frozen Botox) face. I mean, his dad meets this young chick, jumps on couches, proposes, and knocks up. Well, if it's a boy I hope they name him Ron Hubbard Cruise.

Welcome back! So glad to see you return. Ping wants to be a leopard for Halloween, so I guess it's the year of the big cats.
