Pumpkin Patch

Grandma Carolyn came down for Sunday and Monday which was awesome. Reeves and I both had Monday off so we kept Alice home from daycare and enjoyed a long weekend. It was a gorgeous fall weekend in CT! We took full advantage and went to the local pumpkin patch on Sunday. So many pumpkins...so many people! But the free hayride was great! Alice didn't show much interest in the pumpkins but it gave us a chance to walk around outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.












We played outside while Reeves raked some leaves. Alice liked kicking the leaves while walking but was less enthusiastic when the leaves were piled high. She is pretty funny. She loves to walk outside but also likes to take off for the road any chance she gets. We are going to really have to watch this one! In between her trying to make a run for it, we had a pretty good time outside!! She played with some pine cones and got sticky fingers!

Making a run for it before Reeves caught up!




Lastly, Alice is finally a Kookaburra (that's the name of her new room)! She has successfully (well, that depends on your definition) transitioned to the toddler room. While she was in tragic tears this morning when I dropped her off, she does seem to enjoy this new setting when she gets settled in. Today is her first full day there. I'll let you know how it goes.

One more thing...I know I told many of you how I was worried about Alice's lack of words. Well, she has several now! She says "Hi," "Yay"(with clapping) "Agua" (our lovely multicultural daycare can take credit for that!) and "All Done" (while signing). She also can say her name which is really sweet. She is also really expressing herself. Just this morning, when she clearly didn't want to be dropped off at school, she took my hand and guided me to the coat rack, basically telling me, "get my stuff and let's go!" Very funny girl!
