Carson climbed in here all by himself. He's a climber for sure. That's not something I ever had to worry about with Miles, but I can already tell that Carson is going to keep us on our toes. Wouldn't you love to know what he's thinking??
We hit up two different parks over the break. I took off three days and had today off for Columbus Day. I took Carson to daycare half of the time, which gave me some time with just Miles. It never seems that he needs that, but I do.
One day while Carson was at daycare, I took Miles and his best friend, Mason, to Chuck E Cheese. I was thinking while we were there that some people go to the beach for fall break and we settle for Chuck E Cheese. I can't say I thrilled with this deal, but Miles didn't know the difference. As long as Darrin is coaching this will be our life.
Marmee came for a visit. She saved me again by watching Carson during two of Darrin's volleyball games.
We celebrated my 41st birthday and our 16th wedding anniversary. As you can see, it was a good day. Miles was almost in tears b/c he didn't get us an anniversary card. I decided to make one, which is front and center below. It says "A Special Day" on the front and "Love mom and dad" and "For the best parents" on the inside. Be still my heart.
Miles had a friend spend the night for the first time. I'm not a huge fan of sleepovers, whether it be at our house or someone else's, but Mason and Miles are just easy. I've only known his parents for a year, but it feels like I've always known his mom and that these kids have always been friends. It's just a friendship that works. They never argue or get tired of each other. I've had such an easy time getting to know his mom too, which isn't always the case. I hope this is a friendship that lasts a long time.
Saturday morning cartoons together.
We painted pumpkins. Miles and I have done this for a couple years. Carson enjoyed it for longer than I expected. Miles and I were both disinterested this year for some reason. Our pumpkins weren't worth keeping or taking a picture of.
We were able enjoy a little time outside while the weather was pretty. Unfortunately, it's back to blazing hot here in TN. I'm ready for some fall temps!
And last but not least, some big news....Carson went to sleep without a bottle tonight! He's been down to one bottle at night for a couple months now. I decided to reclaim my counter space and put all the bottles away and the drying rack. We have enough sippy cups now to put them in the dishwasher, so no more hand-washing bottles and sippy cups every day. Instead of a bottle, he got a sippy cup of milk with just a little less milk, so there really wasn't much of a change for him. I kind of knew that he wouldn't care, but I was the one that was sad. I am glad that he is growing up b/c it means we can do and interact more with him. But, it makes me a little sad that he's growing up so quickly. I am so glad though that we will have a child in the house for the next 17 years, b/c I never thought we'd have him :)
