Halloween Play Date

Today was a blast! We have made some friends in the ward and we've been invited to a few fun play groups. Today's lunch play group was a Halloween themed pot-luck. Tyler was so excited to wear his Bat Man outfit for the first time! (It's really just PJ's but he doesn't have to know) While we ate a quick sandwich at home he kept checking out his reflection in the oven door. Whenever someone would ask if he was Batman he'd point to the bat on his shirt.

Batman!!

Although the play group was HUGE and crowded, Tyler really enjoyed himself. As a matter of fact, Tyler is the one who decided when to leave! He kept walking to the front door and looking for me. When we got home we were only down stairs long enough to take off his shoes then he took me over to the stairs asking for "books". We always read books before his naps. While I chatted with daddy on the phone Tyler got his pacifier and blanket together and took himself over to the rocking chair where we read. What a big boy Tyler is becoming.

Getting better at saying "Cheese!"

After waking up from his afternoon nap Tyler got to play out back. He has really been enjoying the chalk that we got to play with. He will just scribble around, collect rocks in his bucket, find nails (still) and try to dig up the extremely hard ground. Note his handsome shorts. He is tall enough to fit into 18 mos. size clothes but his little waist is usually a problem and his shorts will fall off still. He has had these particular shorts since June sometime but they would always fall off. I finally got out a needle and thread and brought in the waist a little so now he can enjoy wearing more than just one pair of shorts.

Playing in the backyard with rocks and chalk. Fun! Fun!

Daddy came home, we headed out for a dinner (lazy mom night) and then we enjoyed bath night for the little guy. He has been laughing all day and bath time was no exception. We always like to have fun as a family when we can so we let Tyler stay up a little later than usual just to play with daddy.

Giving daddy kisses!

Playing peek-a-boo over the couch. This is one of Tyler's new favorite things to do while I'm washing dishes, cooking, or just on the other side of the counter. I love the giggle that comes along with it.

Tomorrow should be another fun day with a "sports day" for the ward at the big park. We'll probably stop by at least and see how long Tyler can last!
