book of angels

Our little Cassidy is quite obsessed with reading. He takes after his mom in that way, I think. We haven't caught him with a flashlight reading after bedtime just yet, but I suspect it's not far off.
We took him out for a quick trick-or-treating stroll down Cortland Ave, including a stop in Red Hill Books for a quick story. He had fun cruising around and scaring people, but he's still too little to really get all the excitement of Halloween. Plus, he's still not aware of candy - we've managed to successfully hide that from him so far.

oh, my hair is getting good in the back

Cassidy got a haircut. It was getting a bit out of hand, and he's still too little to successfully pull off the scrunchie like dear old Dad. But you can't defeat the curls - they're still there!

if you want blood

Post-vampire feeding stupor, or beets for dinner? You be the judge.

Also, we have Cassidy modeling his new hat (sent by Grandma Sonnie) and composing Beat poetry with his new alphabet refrigerator magnets.

he is the lizard king, he can do anything

Attention faithful and devoted fans of Cassidy!
As a reward for your patience and commitment through this drought of cute pictures, we have a very special treat for you: the world premiere of his Halloween costume for this year. As far as we can tell, it's either a dinosaur or a dragon. Or maybe an iguana. Or possibly some sort of Japanese movie monster. Whatever it is, he looks appropriately cute and fierce, which is really about all you can ask for in a toddler costume. He's still a year away from being excited about Halloween, but he's very excited about racing around the house, which is what is provoking the big smiles here.
