Potty Battles

Getting Owen to sit on the potty is such a battle. He has finally gone to the potty a couple of times where I actually felt like he knew what he was doing. He gets very excited and proud when he does go, but getting him to try is half the battle.

All Aboard

Imagination abound....
Owen decided to collect just about every toy and stuffed animal he could find and pile them onto the couch for what he called a train ride. "Choo-Choo" So cute, but who's putting away all that stuff?!!!

Drumlin Farm

We got bundled up and went to Drumlin for a fun morning of animal viewing.

Since we've been to Drumlin several times this year, Owen is very familiar with all the animals. He's not afraid to get up close and have a look.

Go get 'em cowboys!

The highlight of the farm for Owen is the tractor ride. He usually wants to sit up front so he can see the tractor, but this time he chose to sit in the back corner. It's hard to capture in a photo just how truly excited he is every time we take a tractor ride.

Owen

Oh Owen. What a kid. He can be exhausting and this age can definitely be challenging at times, but I absolutely love it. I cherish every smile, every sigh, every hug...the good moments and even the bad. I'm learning more about him every day and marvel at how truly amazing he is.

When Owen is into something, he really gets into it. I made this silly game out of making little paper wads and putting them into the bucket of this tiny cement mixer truck. And he keeps wanting to do it over and over again. Such a simple thing. Makes him so happy.

Soccer

Owen has shown a lot of interest in soccer. This fall we got him a soccer ball and have taken several trips to Lincoln Park to kick the ball around. He loves it, and Mommy and Daddy love how it wears him out!

All About Trains

We were at the mall and Owen was so excited to get on this train ride. He even patiently waited until he was first in line so that he could ride in the engine and ring the bell the entire time.

Leaf Jumping

Owen enjoyed jumping into leaves that Mommy and Daddy were trying to get all raked up.
