It's October!

Deacon loves pumpkins! He doesn't always want to go to the store with me, but when I tell him that he will get to see pumpkins, he immediately changes his mind. He also likes to look for them when we go walking around our neighborhood. 

Deacon also likes superheros right now. He had me put his blanket around him the other day for a cape, but it didn't stay on very well. I bought him a vampire costume for Halloween last year (yes, it was an end of season clearance item) and thought I could take the cape off of that for him to wear around. It turns out the cape is attached to the whole top piece, but he was happy to put it on. He also wanted to wear the pants that came with it. He wore the whole costume for several hours until it was time to go to bed and then put it on again the next morning. I think he looks pretty dashing in it. Here's our "Super" Vampire:

My mom and I took Deacon and Livy to the Discovery Gateway Museum again on September 21. The kids had a fun time. Deacon really liked a tractor that he found to ride on and a stuffed pug. Livy loved the stroller she found and pushed it around for a while. 

Livy loved sitting in this airplane; we could not get her to come out! When Deacon wanted a turn, she wouldn't move, but she did let him "share" the seat with her. 

Deacon loved riding this!

  

Matt sent me a text this morning saying that he found Deacon in the bathroom brushing his teeth all by himself. He has a stool under the sink that he took out and was standing on with the water running. He said he brushed them for around 2 minutes which is shocking since it's usually pretty tough to get him to brush his teeth at all. I didn't even know he could reach his toothbrush or the faucet, even standing on his stool. Funny kid. 

He pretty much thinks he is the boss (which is probably true) and he tells me to go into Time Out sometimes. He is a very smart boy, but with that comes a very independent attitude and rebellion.

Riding around on the Frozen car at Costco. He loved this thing! While we were there the power went out, so I was glad he had something to keep him occupied while we waited for it to turn back on. 

Playing with his tools.

Mrs. Potato Head glasses... he thinks he so funny. He even has a fake laugh that he does quite often. He also likes to make believe that his animals/toys are talking to each other. He likes to give me an animal and always says "hi" to my animal with his.
