Like I said, we had a Halloween party on Saturday. We did not go outside to go trick or treating. We did have lots of treats of course. Today was the real Halloween, so we did some additional Halloween stuff tonight. Tobias came up with the idea to go trick or treating (“like we did the year before last year” he added). So, we put his costume on and went outside. We pretended to go around the block, but the turned back to ring the doorbell. I had to hide while he waited for the door to open. It was so sweet!
After that we went inside and did another Halloween thing: we watched a Halloween movie (“Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space”) while enjoying the treats 
Before he went to bed he did not want to read, but draw on his white board. We do that sometime, we take turns drawing a picture and then the other person has to guess what it is. The first picture Tobias drew was of trick or treating. He drew himself and Lisa, each with a speech bubble. Tobias’ said: “Trik R Trit”…
As you know he is learning how to write, in Dutch. He is doing really well with reading and also with writing in Dutch. He is starting to be able to distinguish between Dutch and English reading-wise. As you can see from this example he uses the Dutch sounds to spell an English word. Very interesting development… oh, and kind of sweet too, right?
