Leaf Collecting

Just adding this to the "scrapbook." One of the many leaf collections Ladybug has assembled this fall.

Seasonal Books: Halloween & Thanksgiving

I haven't wanted to let this much time go by between blog posts, but here we are. Halloween was an absolute blast, with a party of three toddlers that was actually enjoyed by parents too, followed by an evening of first time trick-or-treating. I wanted to orient Ladybug to all the festivities, and for us that means a ton of books. She continues to enjoy them now that it's mid-November. So in the spirit of recording what we've been up to this (last) month, here are our favorite Halloween books this year:
Ghosts in the House - What a sweet twist and adorable art.

Moonlight: The Halloween Cat - Much requested. Ladybug says, "Sometimes there's a owl!"

Where Is Baby's Pumpkin? - She just never tired of this one. Memorized it and was "reading" it to me.

Room On The Broom - A fun rhyme, and more text which is nice for potty time. We were reading it still this afternoon.

And here's what we have coming up for Thanksgiving:

Giving Thanks: A Native American Good Morning Message

Thanksgiving Is...

Thanks for Thanksgiving I love the art in this one.

Little Bear's Thanksgiving

Bonus: I wanted some kind of introduction to Hinduism in honor of Diwali. This isn't a Diwali story, but it is so adorable and age appropriate: Ganesha's Sweet Tooth

Phew, now I can rest knowing I won't totally forget the memory of the year I tried to read every toddler Halloween book I could get my hands on. And then planned to do the same for Thanksgiving. ...and Advent...and Christmas....
