*Happy Halloween!

I am sorry to say that Chris is out of town and took our camera with him! I won't be able to get any pictures of Will Trick or Treating but these are almost as good:

dress rehearsal

Will the puppy

 

Some pictures of him in action on Country Bumpkin Day at daycare:

 

*there's a pumpkin farm and petting zoo!

A couple of weekends ago we went with some friends to Lucky Ladd Farm. Will LOVED it! His favorite animals were probably the ducks. Chris' favorites were the goats and my favorite was the potbellied pig. We all got to feed and pet a baby calf that was so sweet and gentle too!

Feeding the sheep.

Quacking at the ducks.

Daddy figured out that the big slide will have to wait for next year. Will was either scared or didn't want to wait in line!

Seesawing with Daddy and friends.

Riding the tractor train.

He was fascinated with these guys.

Talking about them.

STILL talking about them.

 

Picking out his favorite.

*there's recent antics

A nice case of bedhead! If you look closely you'll see one of 2 pretty big red goose eggs he has had on his forehead lately.

Ipad time with Daddy

A nice close up of forehead goose egg #1.

Katie managing to keep an eye on everything while looking bored at the same time.

This is what an oatmeal sensory box looks like after Will has been lost sight of the "keep it in the tub" rule.

I got out the camera when he ran past me to get the broom and dustpan out of the house. He LOVES to clean up!

Sometimes "clean up" means picking up things with your hand and placing them in the dustpan. And then dumping it out to start all over again.

Will's school has Spirit Week the week before Halloween and every day has a different theme for dressing up. In the pictures above Will is wearing his scrub top and olive pants for Mismatch Day. Tuesday was Country Bumpkin Day and today was Crazy Hat Day. I'll try to get pictures of those outfits when it's time to show him in his Halloween costume!

Since today was possibly the last day of nice weather for awhile 

Will and I played outside for a long time when we got home.

I would love to know what he was trying to tell me when I took this one.

On his way out...

because he prefers to put his car on it's side and climb through it over and over!

 

Climbing, climbing, always climbing!

And finally, this is what happens when Will is allowed near the bowl of dog food. Notice the towel...he's cleaning again!

Jody & Chris' first carved pumpkins!

*there's talking!

Finally a video!

*there's a growing boy

It's almost time! 

Almost time to celebrate Will turning 2!

I noticed that I never shared these pics of Will at his 18 month check up with the pediatrician.

We'll have the 2 year check up very soon.

Amazed by the trains

He used to the be the tiny one in the stroller watching the big kids push the train buttons.  Now the little ones watch him!
