10/31 - Kasey was a ladybug and Landon was a Fire Fighter. Grammy had found the firefighter costume and a Snow White one for Kasey. Both kids tried on several costumes from the dress up clothes we have upstairs and at least for Kasey it was to the end for trying to get her to put something on.
We went to a party down the street at the Cracknells and we all ate dinner together, the kids played and then we all walked around trick or treating together. The kids had a lot of fun. It was kind of warm that night. We got back to the house and let the kids eat 2 pieces of candy. They were excited.
10/29 - The kids wore their jackets on our walk last night. They were both pretty excited about wearing jackets. This morning Landon put his on for school and Kasey wanted to put hers on as well.
When I got home from work today both kids asked if we could go for a walk. Neither of them wanted to go eat but wanted to go on a walk. We have fun on our walks. Landon rides his bike and I push Kasey in the stroller and hold onto Lady. We look for pumpkins at all of the houses as we go by.
Tonight Landon was a mess, not listening, saying no for everything we asked him to do. So I thought I would try a different tact than threatening to take things away. I told Landon what I wanted him to do - be a nice boy, listen to what we ask him to do the first time. It was like his brain changed and he started listening and trying to be nice. Then he kept saying he was being a nice boy. We'll see how far that goes.
We've tried on several halloween costumes the past couple days. We have a snow white costume Grammy bought this year and a few fairy/princess ones we've had for a while, but of course she wanted nothing to do with those. She liked the dinosaurs, ladybug an Elmo. Landon really likes his Fire fighter costume, dinosaur and Elmo as well. We'll see what they end up wearing for halloween.
We tried on some halloween costumes tonight. Trying to get the kids to choose what they want to be. To many choices I think. We'll see what we end up with. Landon has a really cute Fireman costume that Grammy got and a dinosaur from a few years ago that still fits. Both kids tried on Elmo. Kasey also liked one of the dinosaur costumed and seemed to like it. We tried on dresses for princesses, fairies and snow whie, and then she wanted to put her Team Liam shirt back on.
10/23 - Kasey went pee pee in MiMi's potty. She kept saying she needed to go then she actually did. The next day she asked to go pee pee in the potty. She sat in the restaurant, but didn't go. She's very independent and even on big potties she won't let you hold her to make sure she doesn't fall in.
Also that Saturday we learned that Grammy and Gramps new stopper in their tub didn't work very well. It ended up leaking water through their closet into the living room. Luckily Greg's flight got delayed to much and he came over with the carpet cleaner in his car. It looks like that was able to get most of the water up so that they don't have to replace it.
Kasey has started singing songs more. She will sing some of I Hear Thunder and she knows the end of the ABC song. It's cute hearing her say more.
10/21 - Kasey had a cold (runny nose but not much fever), but Thursday she woke up and couldn't keep breakfast down so Greg took her in. She had an ear infection which I had thought was the case on Tuesday night. She likes the medicine though. We put the medicine syringe in her mouth and she just sucks in the medicine.
10/16/10 - We stayed home this weekend and didn't go to the A&M game. Landon's soccer game and A&M game were at the same time so we stayed here. We had soccer game, watched A&M lose on TV and then after very short rest time the kids, Grammy and I headed to the craft fair in Plano where we always get in trouble. Grammy bought kasey a too too. she tried it on and wouldn't take it off until we go the car.
Kasey is really starting to say more words. If we come home in the evening and it's dark we go to the driveway to see the moon. Kasey won't let us forget. Last night she said Goodnight Moon. In the car today Landon was asking Kasey to say several words like colors and other stuff. She was able to say most of them.
Landon can now open most car doors by himself and he buckles himself in. Landon can sing most of the A&M War Hymn. He can also sing a lot of the A&M Spirit song. Especially the yelling part at the end. He gets really into it. Landon is saying prayers every night and he asks me to sing Hush Little Baby to him.
Landon is making competition of things like who gets their seat belt on. He will figure out which one he'll be between the 4 of us and say that he wins. Example - Kasey has her seat belt on and he's getting his on, but Greg and I aren't in the car. He'll say that the 2nd one to buckle in the winner.
Landon is playing pretty well on the soccer team. We played a really tough team today and Landon scored a goal. He played pretty well.
Kasey's naps seem to be getting shorter. Some days she will still take a good couple hour nap, but most days it seems to be 30-45 minutes.
