...My three-year-old has just informed me that he wants to go to the Halloween party tonight as Posa.

Yes, the Marquis of Posa from Don Carlo.

I don't know whether I should be very pleased or very, very frightened.

(To be fair, I think all this means is that he wants to wear his green cape, and I seem to have successfully shunted this into being "Super Rabbit Boy" (the hero of some books we've been reading) but...)

ETA: Now he wants me to be the Prince. So I have a green cape too now. People are gonna be really confused...

Okay, that is the most adorable thing ever. (Wait until he really gets into Don Carlo when he's older and then becomes inconsolable about his fate.)

Glad to hear that everything is going alright! You haven't posted in a while and I've been wondering how everything's going with you.

Yeah, he has only watched that one bit of the auto-da-fe (...not the end of the auto-da-fe, for obvious reasons) because he and E (my older one) like swords, and I think it very much appeals to him that Posa gets to take the sword. (He also likes to pretend to be the King, because Posa gives the King the sword!)

I've been busy! Mostly with RL (work, church, and kid commitments are ramping up and don't look to ramp back down until after the holidays) but... also with, uh, things to be discussed later :)
