He loved carrying his own bucket and picking out the candy himself! He would say "thank you" in sign language (which everyone mistook for a kiss & thought it was so adorable) and he said "Byes" as he left each place! Clay was also excited to tell everyone that a dinosaur says "Coo Coo"! He makes a train noise because he watches the tv show "Dinosaur Train" on Saturday mornings. We think it is so funny!
This morning, Clay helped me wrap Arabella's birthday present. We got her a mini classical guitar, so before wrapping it we tuned it and I learned to play "happy birthday". Clay was singing "happy happy b"! He is such a sweetie.
Clay has also been walking around all morning with the cardboard tube from the wrapping paper. He is such a little boy! He gave it to me and the first thing that popped in my head was to sing "Old MacDonald" into the tube. So I sang the first line and Clay surprised me by singing "E-Ni-No-No-No-No"! It is really amazing how much he is learning everyday!
Some other big news is that we are in the process of buying a house! You can check it out here! We put in an offer and the couple accepted it, so now we have to meet with the bank and go severely into debt! It is really scary and incredibly exciting! I couldn't even sleep last night because I kept thinking about painting and moving and other details we could change about our new home! The couple living there now does not plan on leaving until early February, so it will be a while before it is ours. We cannot wait! Now we will have a place big enough for everyone to come visit! Start planning your trips now!
Baby Girl Howe is growing right on schedule! She is about 10.5 inches long and moving around like crazy! My students are really excited about the baby and always ask about her. They also had a bunch of name ideas, so I have a baby name suggestion box in my room. We have a bunch of great names to choose from! Right now our favorite is Amelia Ryann.
We miss and love you all!
