fall

Dennis was in heaven at the park yesterday. It was getting dark and he was getting tired... but he jumped and jumped and then just laid there looking around enjoying the feel of the leaves.


What an awesome feeling... I love it too.

development

Children's development varies so much from kid to kid. Dennis wasn't the first one to roll over, or walk, or jump, or run, or talk... or many other things. In fact he is usually not the first. And we learned a long time ago not to compare him with other kids. Dennis is very good at his fine motor skills. He is very patient and can do intricate things with his hands. I love how he wrote in between the lines on this first picture.

Notice the coloring in the lines around the sun and the color choices.
We love our Dennis and his strengths.

gross things

Ever since Dennis was born, I was afraid that he would get into something gross... having dogs- gross things are around once in a while. When he was a baby, I found him chewing on a plastic dog bone. I was really scared that he would find something worse. Buster throws up more often than normal dogs. It became tricky when Dennis became so mobile. It was so stressful for me to clean it up while Dennis was around. Today things changed. I was in the kitchen when I heard Dennis say, "uh oh... uh oh... momma.. uh oh... bu-er... uh oh bu-er". Dennis told me that Buster had an accident. What a relief. I can rest from my worries.

just another day at the zoo

halloween

Dennis designed his own Jack O'Lantern. With mommy's interpretation, Daddy did the carving. Pretty cute if you ask me...Then we went to our neighbor's house for chili. It was delicious. Dennis got to play with his good friend Eloise.


The pumpkin lighting!
He was trying to blow out the candle.
Happy Halloween!
