Happy Halloween!

Since Will loves to bounce, we decided to take him out for his Halloween debut as Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. You may recall the lyrics to Tigger's Song. The second verse is particularly entertaining and applicable to Will, our resident lap-leaper.



The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is Tiggers are wonderful things.
Their tops are made out of rubber,
Their bottoms are made out of springs!

They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one!


The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps.
They're loaded with vim and with vigor,
They love to leap in your laps!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers,
Is Iiiiiii'm the only one!

Lucky for us, we live around the corner from Belvedere Street, one of San Francisco's legendary streets when it comes to Halloween. Five or so blocks are closed off and the homeowners go all out trying to outdo each other with decorations and entertainment.





























So after visiting Will's buddy Ella the Lion for a neighborhood pre-party (props to the Pradhans for hosting!), we headed out with playmates Maddie the Puppy and TJ the Monkey to check out the scene.



























































Halloween for babies is of course really about tolerating their parents. Our hands-down favorite house featured Marty the Dancing Zebra from Madagascar and friends, who were gettin' down to some funk-techno in their windows, much to the delight of the entire crowd - think "Go Zebra, Go Zebra, Go Go, Go Zebra!"





























This all might sound a little corny, but we had a blast. As far as Will goes, while he was an enthusiastic and patient Tigger, all that bouncing made for a very hot baby in a furry costume! Our tired Tigger was happy to head home after his Halloween adventure.

Happy Halloween!
