We love Fall!


Finally the weather is changing, and the leaves are changing colors! Warms up a bit still in the day but its getting cool at night. New things Daniel has done, would be that he can finally drive that Jeep power wheels, and steer it. SO when the weathers right we take it around the neighborhood, or to the pond to feed the ducks. I'm sure that him peddling his bike full time is not far away. Doing the whole potty training thing, but unfortunately I am not 100% committed, so its here and there. He can pull his pants down and pulls likes to sit on the potty but has yet to do anything in there. I do notice when he is running around the house half naked, that we still leave the light and door open for the potty and he is going in there to pee but falls short of the toilet. SO the floor has been catching it all. He is holding his pee, because his diapers have been staying dry for longer periods of time. Also his #2 pattern has changed. No more in the am, just at night now and more uniformed in shape, no more flat pancakes. So I definitely have some stories on naked in his room peeing on the floor already! Its going well so far, not pushing him. He'll get it soon. As we are getting closer to his 3rd b-day I will have to step up and do more to encourage him.

We also have upgraded to a twin bed for him. And he got his own bean bag chair that he loves. He sits in it looking at his books and puts it in front of his tv and watches Mickey sometimes. So to my suprise when he went down for a nap, and I went in to make sure his blankets were on him, found him sleeping in his chair. Hes so darn cute, and it really was like he was made for us! That adoption was our saving grace to have such a wonderful, smart, courious, ENERGETIC, and hansome little man!

Can't believe that on Oct 28th will be a year since our very first time meeting him. (also that horrible plan scare) Makes it all worth it!

Hoping to go pumpkin picking and hay rides this Sat. It Daniels first Halloween, and Thanksgiving this year, and ours as parents David and I can't wait!
