My minor prophet
Saturday, 1 November 2008 by Joscelynn Tomaw
Here’s Jonah watching Sesame Street in the whale costume I made him for Halloween. I’m pretty pleased with how the costume turned out considering I didn’t have a pattern. Over the course of the night, Jonah was twice mistaken for a dolphin, but other than that people generally “got it.” I never realized all of those years helping with costume maintenance at Lafayette Ballet Sweatshop were preparation for motherhood.
Halloween afternoon I took Jonah downtown to a party at Jacob’s office. During trick-or-treating time we enjoyed the beautiful, warm evening on our front steps, catching up with neighbors and passing out candy. This morning Jonah had a costume play date with a group of babies that I like to call “Cafe Au Lait.” I’ll try to post a picture of the festive young Wesleyans when we have them uploaded.
My minor prophet will be eleven months in two days. This fact astounds me. 2008 has been the fastest flying year of my life. Jonah can now stand unassisted and we’ve seen him let go and take a couple of steps. He also climbs steps easily, eats chopped and/or mashed table food, sleeps between 10 and 11 hours at a stretch every night (!!!), and contently watches almost all of Sesame Street with me.
This is a little boy we’re raising up. No doubt about it.

Aw, I can’t believe how quickly this year has gone and how fast both Jonah and Luca are growing up. It’s fun to look forward to the next step, but a little sad too. They’ll never be this small again.
