I was talking with Charley a few days ago.  Yes talking.  Caleb uses this high pitched voice and makes Charley talk to me and give me kisses goodnight, etc.  Anyway, Caleb wondered out loud at naptime a few days ago about Charley dressing up for Halloween.  A conversation ensued about what Charley should be for Halloween.  He first suggested a tiger, and I wasn’t sure I could pull that off, so I started rattling off possibilities, asking Charley what he thought of them.  I mentioned a dog, to which Charley replied, “Nah, too woofy.  Dats what Caleb’s gonna be.”  So after a few more suggestions, we settled on a bat.  Charley was in agreement so we set off to Walmart today for a few buttons and some black felt.  $3 well spent.  I worked all through naptime on what Scott has cleverly named “Charley the Bat-a-raffe.”  It just so happened that I was able to keep the sewing, not my forte, to a minimum by just wrapping the piece of felt around Charley and adding a couple buttons.  I didn’t even have to cut the first piece of felt.  I added his hood and wings and ta-da…I give you…Bat-a-raffe.

    A D O R A B L E ! Having seen Charley in person last night I would say this is just PRICELESS. Rach, you are amazing, not sure how Caleb’s outfit can out shine Charley’s for the big night but knowing you and your many talents; it will!

    PERFECT!
