PUMPKIN (29 MONTHS, 1 WK)

Momma and S made a jack-o-latern Sunday afternoon. Momma had S help draw a face on the pumpkin. S drew the eyes and momma drew the nose and mouth. Momma took the pumpkin out on the deck to gut it and carve the face. S was fascinated by it but also "grossed" her out. While momma was gutting the pumpkin, she kept dry heaving and saying "gross." Momma had to lead her down the steps to the lawn to see if she would throw up. Finally, when momma got to the carving part, S kept saying that the pumpkin was scary.

Daddy had to take S away. Daddy said he asked for a funny pumpkin, not a scary one.
