For over a year our 2yo has been obsessed with videos of the Lowes animatronic Halloween reaper band. So for his 3rd birthday, we surprised him with his own reaper band. Now all he wants to do is perform with the 7ft tall reapers, specifically as an *animatronic* skeleton. He’s a method actor.

To help us manage these feelings, we need to not look too far in the future. We need to just keep “doing the next right thing.”
