Goodbye Pumpkin


So yesterday, Halloween is over and I decided that the pumpkins are ready to be thrown away (plus it's garbage day). I told Brandon to get his pumpkin and throw it away and for some reason he was really attatched to this pumpkin. He started to cry! He said that he loved his pumpkin so much and didn't want to throw it away. He proceeded to sit on the front step and cry. I tried to explain that pumpkins don't last forever and we can get a new one next year...eventually he hesitantly threw his pumpkin away. Isaac on the other hand want to destroy his and cut it up into tiny little pieces ( a little bit dark for a three year old) Anyway, after we got the pumpkins thrown away I came back inside to find Brandon in his room writing a note to his pumpkin. He asked me if he spelled it right. GBie (good bye) Pcin (pumpkin). I said close enough...it was so cute he had written a note for his long lost pumpkin all by himself, sounding out the letters and everything.

That is so cute. I love how he is learning to spell. Great Story!

That is awesome! Never too early to learn to write, spell, read! Sad to see pumpkins go, but they get rotten.
