Toddler pumpkin patch.

 

Koltens school had the yearly pumpkin patch for the kiddos. Last year was the first year & Kolten was in the infant room. It was pointed out to me not only did Kolten grow, but so did the pumpkins! I couldn’t wait for the picture above just for a comparison picture from last year (see below). 

Love this boy and all his joy. Also, I love the he has a tutu on. His teacher said he’s been putting it on daily. Great opportunity for independence! I love it. 

Fall baking.

I have been trying to make a habit of spending some dedicated time with Kolten each day when he gets home from his toddler room. Some days that may be an art project or a special toy that’s been tucked away. This day he and I made some crock pot apple sauce spur off the moment. We had a few extra apples and he had just made at school that he really enjoyed so I wanted to give him another opportunity. He loved participating and using the materials himself. Most of all I think he liked to sneak bites of the apples. We recently got a “kitchen helper” which is basically a wooden stool that goes up to counter height. This allowed him to really be involved safely. It is going to come in so handy over the next few months with the holidays.
