The Dub Shack: October 2013

Brody,

October has been a fun month for us! You are for sure in a two year old mind set!

October has been a pretty normal month for us. There hasn't been a lot of things that are abnormal or out of the ordinary that we have done. We have had some park time, we took Mav to the dog park and you loved it! Although you don't care for other dogs, you love watching him run and trying to get him to play fetch with you.

This month we had fun decorating a pumpkin with you! We didn't carve one. We made one look like an owl! You loved helping although it was a little hard for you still.

You love riding in your Cozy Coupe, playing outside, playing with your tool bench, "reading" books, watching movies, watching Chapel - you are obsessed! (Chapel is "If your happy and you know it" that you sing at chapel), going on walks on your bike, playing with play dough, stickers, running around in grassy areas, and just playing. You are all boy and are very active!!!

You are still throwing some 2 year old fits. We are handling the best we can. You say "No" alot when you don't get your way which ends in a time out. Hopefully you will catch on soon that that doesn't help get your way. You are also hitting some which also gets you in trouble. We make you give gentle touches after to show you how you should touch others.

You were healthy this month! Wahoo! You did have to get a flu shot - yuck! But you did well. You didn't like it but you got over it pretty quickly :)

You also got your haircut again. You did better this time. Hopefully you keep doing better and better!

You do well sleeping for the most part. You have started dragging everything into bed with you before going to sleep. Monitor, changing pad, stars light, etc. But then you go to sleep. Whatever works right ;) You have not figured out how to crawl out yet. Until you do, or closer to baby, we will keep you in your bed.

You are not eating a lot of different things, but you are eating a lot of what you like! The other day you had half a box of the family size mac and cheese! You are a growing boy! You like: turkey, cheese, mac and cheese, hot dogs, strawberries (obsessed), applesauce, pouches, avacado, bananas, corn, green beans, spaghetti, beans, rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, eggs, more cheese, goldfish, and pretty much the same old same old. :) Still only juice at home no milk. Although you do milk at school stinker!

The Saturday before Halloween we went to a corn maze with Mark and Lauren. You like helping us pick a pumpkin. You also like the cow train and corn maze. You are obsessed with Paul and Luke and call them both Paul. You did NOT like the petting zoo or animals and freaked when the cow mooed at you! It was pretty funny. :)

We had a Halloween thing at church. You dressed up and loved running around with Zaylee and playing in the corn. On Halloweenwent trick-or-treating with Mark and Lauren again. You just wanted to ride in the wagon with Luke at the beginning and threw a fit because he would get out. After a while you started going to doors and loving it. You said Trick-Or-Treat and loved eating M and M's. We also went to the Bujarskis and you loved playing with their dog Cocoa!
