Fall

So, technically it's fall here in the great prairie. We are enjoying those precious few weeks each year when the weather is perfect; sunny (mostly), warm days and cool nights, no humidity. Despite temperatures in the 80's we introduced E to one of the joys of fall with a trip to our local apple orchard and pumpkin patch. E's favorite part was probably driving the "tractor"; he loves a steering wheel. We picked some apples, posed with pumpkins and generally had a good time.

 

 

The season is not the only kind of fall going on around here lately. Little E is walking everywhere but still gets tripped up by unexpected elevation changes, especially going downhill. He loves to be chased; a little "I'm gonna get you" really gets him wiggling and giggling.

On Sunday morning the Mav was entertaining the little one while I showered. E got a bit over-excited by being chased and a misstep landed him on his noggin. He was sufficiently traumatized that only Mommy kisses could ease the suffering. Once said kisses were administered the boy bounced back to happy play mode, no harm done.

The boy and his Daddy played a bit longer until the Mav left to mow the lawn. As the Mav shut the basement door behind himself his little boy pointed to the door, said "Daddy", and signed "more". Repeatedly.

It's no wonder I fall for those two all over again every day.
