This week, we purchased Drake's Halloween costume. It was a bitter sweet moment for me. For the last 3 years, Drake has worn a firefighter costume for Halloween. Halloween would come; Drake would head downstairs to get his costume. He had no clue that he could get a new costume.
However, this year was different. I was of course happy to have him realize we could go shopping for a new costume - signally his big boy status - he's almost 6 of course. But, at the same time, I was a bit sad that he no was no longer heading down to the basement to pull out his firefighter costume one more time. Nope. It was Tanner's turn to head to the basement and pull out the firefighter costume - he didn't blink an eye when we walked out of the store with a costume for Drake and not him. I wonder if this will be the last year I'll have a firefighter or if I'll be able to celebrate Tanner's childhood innocence next year.
