My Little Giraffe
Best Photo
Funniest Costume (because of the tail of course!)
Cutest Costume 3 and Up
I realized this morning that I forgot to post photos of Dawson in his Halloween costume. Okay, I only remembered because my friend e-mailed me to say, “Hey! Did you post the giraffe pictures yet?”
So there you go. That last photo is Dawson making a giraffe noise. Now I realize you can’t hear this, and I must confess he’s not actually making a noise in that photo. He simply has his mouth open, with no sound coming out, because his teacher told him that giraffes have vocal chords but can’t make many sounds with them. (It’s true. I googled it. In fact, they communicate at an infrasound level.) So everytime anyone would ask Dawson what a giraffe sounds like, he’d open his mouth and sort of grunt quietly or say nothing at all. It was rather cute.
