Of course, he can't say that in so many words. A conversation usually started around the topic of Halloween. L would then say, "Monkey" pause a bit and then say, "Nana." 

L's favorite part of the trick-or-treating was seeing all the spiders. A couple of times he even burst out in song, "The itsy, bitsy spider..." The spiders were supposed to be scary.</a>

The first week we had the whole clan together and then the Repptians stayed on for an extra week.  The half-Olympic pool, close proximity to the ocean and Oyster Bay (with our almost daily runs to the get Italian Ices) made this a grand vacation.    The three kids played nonstop for the two weeks, running from first light until collapse in the evening.  I even successfully ignored email.
