Feeling like Falltime

not too much going on right now. Dave had a 4 day weekend last weekend so we went to a pumpkin patch and hayride. Alyssa had a lot of fun. She kept trying to pick up all of the huge pumpkins and got frustrated she couldn't lift them. There was also a little petting zoo with a few goats that you could feed. Alyssa loved the goat, especially his beard. She tried to tug it, right before she tried to kiss it. Dave freaked out and thought the goat would bite her so she wasn't allowed to play with him too much...and I'm usually the paranoid parent. The next day we went to a place in Wilmington (like 45min-1 hr away) called Monkey Joes. Its an inside play place with a bunch of bounce houses and slides. Alyssa loves it! And Dave and I do too since parents with kids under 4 years old are allowed to "help" (aka play with) their kids. We went back again this past weekend. We are having to be more creative with things to do since its getting chilly out so our normal walks and playing at the park aren't cutting it.

I am about to make Alyssa some new cloth diapers. After using them for a year, I have found things about certain brands I like best and all so I want to make some more. Although I don't know how much longer she will be in diapers. We only go through like 4 a day now. She holds it until she has to go and then goes all at once which is a good sign. It means she is starting to know the feeling of how to hold it in and all. She has gone pee and poop on the toilet (well her potty) a few times. We have to trick her to get her to sit there for a little bit by letting her brush her teeth. My girl has good dental hygiene...she loves to brush her teeth.

I posted new pictures a few days ago...they are in the new 13 month album. It won't let me put a link on the blog so just click on an older album to get to the picasa site and then click on Lindsay's photos and then the 13 month album.
