Parker was happy to play along with all of my costume shenanigans this Halloween season, but he made it very clear right from the start that he was going to be Captain Barnacles and Matilda would be Peso from the book/tv series The Octonauts. It was a good day. A real good day.
And to think that a year ago I sat in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit overlooking Central Park a couple thousand miles away from my son and a miracle away from holding my daughter.
