Lamb's Farm

Dave, Evan, and I went to Lamb's Farm on Saturday.  What a fun and relaxing day!   

It was very windy and cool...the perfect fall day.  

E got a laugh from the sheep.  He especially thought it was funny when they baa'd and made funny noises.  He kept asking "what's that noise?".   

He liked the petting the goats, but really liked petting the sheep's fluffy wool the most.

Apparently the sheep really liked E too.  One sheep tried eating his jacket while Evan was brushing him.  Luckily Dave saw and pulled Evan away before taking off with a piece of E's clothing.

E wasn't too sure of the big cow we saw.  I don't blame him.  

The cow was double the size of a normal cow.

Evan tried climbing the hay barrels but they weren't sturdy enough to hold him.

A classic ride & one of Evan's favorites...the carousel.

Evan wanted to ride not one...

but two times so Dave and I each got a turn to ride with him.  We also went on a train ride but 

my train ride pictures didn't turn out.   It was a cute Halloween decorated ride.   There were

clowns, skeletons, werewolfs, vampires, pumpkins, ghosts... it was very creative.

Evan tried mini golf (this was his second time) and thought the main rule involved picking up your ball after your first swing and bringing the ball to the hole before putting it in the hole.   Nice try E!   Too bad Mommy and Daddy know the rules of mini golf so next year you will not be getting that one by us!

E also liked putting the ball in the tunnel (see under  the lamb and goat) and trying to get it out with his golf club.   He tried this after Dave had to get a ball out of another tunnel at an earlier hole.   

We sure were tired from our afternoon visit as you can see in Evan's face.  

I tried to get him to smile but he was done.   Bye Lamb's Farm!!!!

E decides that it's time to use the potty

I can't believe it!   Today E peed and pooped in his little potty!   He started the desire to go to the bathroom on our toilet.   But naturally our toilet seat is too big for E's little behind so we brought out his little toilet.  This morning he said to me "mommy, I have to go pee pee."  I said okay and he walked to the bathroom, pulled down his pants, took off his diaper and sat on the potty.   He proceeded to tell me to close the door.  About 2 minutes later I heard him say "pee pee" and I walk in the bathroom to see and low and behold there was pee.   I could contain my excitement that I screamed "Yay Evan!  I am SO proud of you!  You went pee pee on the potty!"  He jumped up and ran into my arms and squeezed me.   I kept telling him he is such a big boy and I am so happy for him.   He was so happy too!     Later this afternoon after we ran a few errands, E played for a few minutes and then told me that he had to go to the potty.   I told him to go and let me know if he needed any help.   Five minutes later I hear him say "poo poo mommy" and I walk into the bathroom doubting there would be any poop and sure enough, there it was sitting at the bottom of his little potty.   What a proud day!   Now to see if he can do it all day.  Now there's a challenge!!!
