Leaf Crawl!

Alex had a lot of fun at Robbie and Betsy's annual Leaf Crawl! He loved playing in the huge leaf pile, found some fun toys and snacks, and jumping around in the bouncy house. It was a beautiful day and he looked very cute in his pumpkin costume (he picked it out all by himself!)
Patty, Alex and I went to Albertville outlets yesterday to get him some new shoes. 11 1/2 W now!! His feet just keep growing like crazy!!
We're still having fun geocaching. Found another one today at Battle Creek Rec Area. Great place for a walk and Alex loves 'treasure hunting'.
It was a great fall weekend!

Fall

Fall is just flying by. We've hardly noticed it with the kind of weather we've been having. We've done a little more geocaching when it wasn't raining. Seems like we've spent a lot of time inside!
Alex is doing great. He's getting to be so big! He's curious about everything and just retains so much. He knows all the planets and some other terms associated with the solar system (flashcards). We're so lucky to have such a bright and healthy boy.
We're all ready for Halloween. Alex decided on his own that he wanted to be a pumpkin. He would not be swayed by any other costumes. He knows exactly what he wants. Seems quite excited about going trick or treating. He's got the idea that he has to knock on the door and say "trick or treat!"
Still working on the potty training- he goes occasionally on the toilet, but not consistently. He does nap at gaga and papa's now without a crib, so we're thinking of turning his into a toddler bed. Not sure we're ready for that!
I hope we get a few nice days out of fall yet!
