Our 1st Jack-o-Lantern - Baby's 1st Halloween #FirstCheerios

With Halloween coming soon, my kids are getting very excited. I've got a little boy who wants to be Batman EVERY day (because why wait for Halloween when you can be Batman?!) and a little girl who's now referring to herself as Rapunzel. Today, we were discussing pumpkins and I thought back to Halloween a couple of years back. Little Miss D carved her first Jack-O-Lantern, and it was the Little Mister's very first Halloween. 

I remember we made the most of it. We designed our "Happy Pumpkin" - a scary pumpkin was certainly out of the question - and we got to work. Unfortunately, the goopy, stringy insides of the pumpkin freaked Little Miss out so much that she refused to actually participate. It ended up more of a "Mommy does the work and Little Miss watches" kind of activity. That's OK though -- Jack the pumpkin turned out pretty well in the end! Here are some pics of my My Little Pumpkin himself on his First Halloween, and my Little Miss with her very First Jack-o-Lantern!

There are all kinds of Firsts to celebrate when it comes to our kids! Watching them develop and grow, learn and experience new things is part of what makes being a parent truly amazing. This is what the 2014 First Cheerios Mosaic celebrates -- All of those special first moments. Why not celebrate right along with Cheerios?
