bumblebee redux

We have now entered the fourth day of Rylee in his bumblebee costume, and I'm sure we will continue to count until Halloween. Like his infatuation with everything baseball, when he insisted on taking all his gear to bed with him, Rylee asks every morning, every day and every night if he can put on his costume. It goes over clothes and pajamas. He marches around with the mask always on, along with the gloves. He thinks he looks like a ninja or a stormtrooper. He wears it in the stores, in the hospital, and in the gym. He gets many reactions. Last night, a young guy going in the gym as Ry and I walked out said, "Cool, dude." He loves it.

Today it rained, and it is cool. The leaves are turning and falling. The last events of the balloon fiesta were canceled due to wind and, on one day, a vicious thunderstorm that rolled in and brought hail to some parts of the area.

Jackson has a new game. He makes a list of things and then asks, which one doesn't belong? Last night it was red, green and orange. At first I thought orange because it was not a primary color and then remembered that green was also not a primary color. He knows his colors. So I said red. The answer was orange. Red and green are both Christmas colors.

I wonder what our Alaskan family think of the continuing coverage of all things Palin.

Bennie continues to get better.
