Band-Aid!

Ashley has a little cut on her pinky that isn't healing (her wounds usually are gone within hours)...so I put some neosporin on it and covered with a band-aid. You would think I put a cast on her! She cried and whined non-stop until she got it off (which took a good 45 minutes). I tried again this morning with a band-aid that was a little less restrictive (the wound is on her knuckle) and immediately started freaking out! I've never heard of a child so upset over wearing a band-aid! Maybe I need to get the children ones with designs on them?!?!?

Goebberts!

Ashley and I went to Goebberts to pick out some pumpkins...

Ashley wasn't too happy to sit in the giant chair

Ashley was very interested and excited to see the ponies. She also thought the camel was funny (yes, there was a camel at Goebberts). Next year she'll probably be able to go for a pony ride (might be a few years before she can ride the camel!)

Ashley found this little pumpkin and didn't want to do anything but carry it around.

Needless to say, it came home with us...along with big ones to be carved!

It's Pebbles!

First trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Sonny Acres in West Chicago to check out the pumpkins. It was almost 80 degrees!

It's official, she's walking

Yep, in a matter of a couple days, Ashley has really figured out how to walk, and she is now very interested in doing it! She still crawls, but she's walking more and more and more!

Oddly, she has also given up her second nap (one would think she would need more sleep with all this walking). So we have some exciting times ahead!
