October, 2012

Cider press party
We had a nice October, with good weather and lots of parties, including a great cider press party with tons of good friends. The weather was so beautiful, and everyone had a great time. It was so easy, that we thought we'd throw a pre-Thanksgiving turkey fry at the last minute, too. I sent around an email on Wednesday for the party on Saturday, figuring that not may people would be able to make it. Instead, we had 34 adults, 17 toddlers, and 3 infants, all inside out tiny house because it was pouring rain outside! It was so chaotic, but fun all the same. You were so good about sharing your toys and your room with so many kids, I was really proud of you.

Harvesting grapes with Dad
Measuring out the new house
We've been thinking lots about building a new house, and so you've gotten to help us with measuring, staking, and planning the whole thing. You are usually a good little helper.

You were a lion for Halloween--Ryan the Lion--which you came up with yourself. Your costume was a big hit, and you liked to wear the hoodie around the house, and even wore it to daycare a few times. Pretty cute.

Things to remember this month:
  • "So, Mama!", "Watch this, Mama!", "Here, Ma! Thank you, Ma!"
  • Full sentences--"My scissors not working, Dad's scissors working yes!"
  • Dance parties after we get home at night
  • Rogue River trip--you stayed with Noni and Grandpa Rick
  • New game--kicking the door lock with your foot quicker than I can open the door to get you out.
  • Climbing into your crib on your own
  • Being a joker--"Want hear something funny, Ma? Noni, Grandpa, pancakes...syrup!! Hahahaha!"
  • I went out for a run and when I came back, you and your dad were laying together in your crib doing a sticker book. I came in and you said "me and dad snuggling in my bed!"
