Chapter 92 The Holiday Preparation

• The arrival of October marked the family's first major holiday season with Emma as a fully verbal participant, her excited chatter about decorations and festivities revealing how much she had learned about family traditions while developing her own preferences for seasonal celebrations and special events.
• "Emma keeps asking when we'll put up the 'sparkly lights,'" Grace said with a grin, "and she's already planning which costume she wants for Halloween, though her ideas change completely every few hours depending on what captures her imagination."
• "Yesterday she wanted to be a dinosaur, this morning she decided on a princess, and now she's saying she needs to be a 'flying robot,'" Phoebe giggled: "I think she believes Halloween costumes can include every interesting thing she's ever seen."
