The Magic & Play of Childhood
October 30th, 2007
I am very excited for Halloween tomorrow. I can’t wait to take the toot treat-or-treating. I’m hoping I can make it magical for him. I read an article recently that referred to a book called The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness: Five Steps to Help Kids Create and Sustain Lifelong Joy
To quote the Amazon.com review, “What children really need, according to the author, are unconditional love from someone (not necessarily a parent) and the opportunity to revel in the magic and play of childhood.”
What better opportunity than Halloween! I think the toot and I are going to hit the pavement tomorrow before it gets dark — meaning before SavvyDad gets home. Just the two of us. We are going to treat-or-treat all of our fun neighbors before meeting up with SavvyDad for dinner and then piling in the car to make the rounds to grandparents and other Salt Lake City-dwelling friends. Can’t wait. An evening of dress-up, candy, family and friends — perfect recipe for magic and fun.
On a side note, Amazon.com redesigned their site this week and I’m not sure I’m happy about it. I was so used to the old one, that I’m having a hard time making friends with the new one. Jury is still out.

What an intriguing book title. I’ll have to check that out. Halloween was so much fun! I hope the toot had a ball trick or treating in his cute costume!
