Park Playdate.


Yesterday we had a quick play date with the cousins at Sequoia Park! It was actually our first outing with Cora and Kolten after picking Kolten up from school. It went well. I spent about half the time in the car feeding Cora and she fell asleep right as we left. Kolten was entertained by his cousins and had fun being outside.

Kolten is feeling confident in the slide. I think that’s part due to the toddler room!

Halloween play date.





Yesterday we had our best friend Patton over for a special Halloween play date. He brought Kolten a super toddler friendly fun trick or treat basket! Kolten loved the balloons and the snacks. 
These boys are so special and I love watching them grow up together.

Smiley girl.

 We’ve been catching little smiles from Cora. They’re so precious and a sign she’s getting bigger and growing so quickly. 


We love you sweet girl. 


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.

PJ day.

Happy almost Halloween! Kolten’s getting full use of his halloween pajamas. Today is pajama day in the toddler room therefor skeleton jammies for the win. He wore them with a black and orange bib which was perfect. It was a wet day so thankfully I think these kept him warm but still had lots of function. 
When we picked him up he had some orange paint on his PJs. I bet he had lots of fun painting and doing art. I’m so thankful he gets to experience that at school. 

Other Halloween pajamas we have include one with a pumpkin face and one with footies and stripes. I love holiday attire. Just wait until Christmas;)
