Breaking in the new sneaks with a little boogie.

"I am so irresistible in my new sneakers .... I smooch myself!"

potty mouth

"Lately Mom's been breaking out my owners manual and paying attention to certain chapters. The result of which has been alot of activity involving the bathroom and alot of potty mouth talk. I don't know where this is all going but hey I up for learning new activities especially ones where I can squat and snack."

According to the instructions in John's main owners manual aka "What to expect the Toddler Years" it is very important to use "evacuation vocabulary" (poo poo, wee wee, you get the idea) when starting the potty training process. So I mentioned to John that when big boys go poop they put their poop in the potty. John then swiftly exited the living room and preformed what I'd call a dress rehearsal where he sat fully clothed on his training potty with his snack and some light reading material.

Blue Skies

"Guess what I'm looking at!"

caged

....the view from the other side of the fence is pretty cute!

Cool

The leaves are changing and fall is upon us so John "donned" (pun intended) the good old orange and blue this weekend. The legs have some room to grow (that's the reason why his pants are rolled up around his waist) but our little gator was nice and warm. Thank you for the suit Prokes family!!!

Treat aftermath

Chocolate does a body good!

Trick-O-Treat ("yes cow hat")

John hat compliant and looking MOOOOverlous!!!

Trick-O-Treat ("no cow hat")

"Buckle me up, this cow is ready for the candy rodeooo!!"

For John's first Trick-O-Treat I dressed him quite economically and with minimal alterations as a cow. With the warm weather, Walmart's fabric of choice and John's distaste of "hats" we made an early evening of it and half the time in full cow suit. A big thank you to Miss Connie for letting us come graze in her pasture/neighborhood, which has sidewalks and lots of friendly candy filled homes.
