He is back at day care full-time and having lots of fun there. He does lots of arts and crafts, some of which get sent home and some are posted on the wall at the day care. If you looked at his pumpkin compared to the other students you would think we had a budding Picasso. He also enjoys all the toys and songs there. He knows most of the motions to the song "The Wheels on the Bus".
He had a fun time at our block party at the beginning of October. He loves watching the kids in the neighborhood. He was able to see a fire truck and go inside it as well. He also got to ride his "bike" in the street (the roads are barricaded). He had his first taste of Capri Sun (which was gone in 15 seconds) and he asked for "moor". In mid fall he went to a farm and took a hay ride. He picked a pumpkin, went down the slides, went in a corn maze, and saw the animals in the petting zoo. He tried really hard to guess what the goat was, but was a bit dumbfounded after we kept saying no to "mooooo", "neigh", and "woof". Towards the end of the month he went to a birthday party and enjoyed a cupcake.
At his 18 month check up he weighed 27 lbs. and 11 oz and 32.5 inches. All seemed well, until the next day when we were back at the doctor's office because of a high fever. The doctor found there was an ear infection, so he was much better after he started some antibiotics and ibuprophin. Unfortunately, the ear infection and the weather put a damper on Halloween plans. We missed the parade in the morning, but he did go trick or treating in the evening. After the third house he got the hang of it and was quite good at grabbing candy and putting it in his pumpkin.
Happy Fall Everyone!
