The Year He Was a Skunk
I keep telling myself that he’ll never remember this. He’ll never remember that we dressed him up as a skunk and walwww.onedoor.ccked around the house saying, “Trick-or-Treat” instead of going door-to-door in search of candy that he couldn’t eat anyway. But he already missed out on so much — going to daycare and socializing with kids his age, leaving the house to run errands together and seeing people’s smiling faces, and having a big first birthday party with all our friends and family.
