Today we spent the day at the pumpkin patch! Payton had lots of fun seeing the animals in the petting zoo and going on a hay rack ride. Then he found just the right pumpkins for our house.
Mom is now settled in her new house. Last weekend all of her stuff from Iowa came and we got her all unpacked. She is really happy to be all moved in. It is a really pretty house and I think she feels quite at home in it. Her house is nice and close to ours. It is just a short bike ride away. My Grandma from Florida came up to help mom get the house all spotless before she moved in. While she was here she showed Payton a few songs on the piano. He is very interested in it. He would just stare her her fingers and try to copy what she did. Now everytime we go there he goes straight for the piano. I think we may have a future musician in our house!
Payton has been doing great. He has been learning a lot of 'emotion' words at school. Sometimes when he is just getting over being upset, he will try and hold back the tears and says, "I happy now." Or, he sometimes says, "I make mommy happy." It is pretty cute.
The other new thing he is constantly saying is, "That's my favorite". He says it for everything! It can be food, toys, cartoons, anything, they are always his FAVORITE!
Payton loves to be mommy's helper. I can pretty much make him do anything around the house if I tell him it would be a big help to mommy! If he doesn't want to pick up his toys, I just say, "It would be a big help to mommy". Then he does it! Now if it were only that easy to get Justin to pick up around the house!!!
