Our little McCoy has embraced toddlerhood! He discovers, explores, takes apart, laughs, and enjoys every second that he is awake. His timing of jokes and using movie quotes is phenomenal and every guest that we have had recently has received their own personal McCoy show that usually includes the singing of numerous Nightmare Before Christmas songs - nearly every word correct. We love our CoyCoy!!
McCoy wanted a "Jack the Pumpkin King" party for his 3rd birthday. We have chosen to follow other family members and only have friend birthday parties on even birthdays, so this year was a family party.
We did invite the cousins over for the afternoon and evening though and played some fun Halloween games. With the movie soundtrack playing in the background, Jack (aka McCoy) helped wrapped everyone up like mummies with toilet paper and then I wrapped him up. Then we had put some random objects with different textures into a bag and had them stick their hand into the "unknown realm" and guess what they were feeling. Then, we of course watched The Nightmare Before Christmas with some popcorn.
That evening, they stayed for pizza, presents and cake.
Chad made a Jack cake for McCoy and they both were very happy with the results. Not too many dads would attempt this, but it is always impressive what he creates - cake or other media.
McCoy truly brings joy and happiness and laughter to our home, but there have been many a time where we questioned that maybe he was sent from Halloweentown.
He was happy with ALL the presents he got. Thank you everyone!
Our now regularly read book. This book is the original poem that Tim Burton wrote and illustrated and that the movie was based on. It is wonderful!!
His new friend to snuggle with at night.
