November 2009

We had a lot going on during the month of November. As the weather got colder, we tried to figure out ways to let Owen still enjoy being active, without as much outside time as we have had earlier in the fall. So we moved our Bouncy House into the basement, and that has been a great way for Owen to play especially in the evening after dinner. We also had a great time at the Imagination Movers Concert.

He also learned how to ride his tricycle and gave up wearing pull ups during the daytime (he still needs to wear them at night). He has done remarkably well, and we are so proud. It's not to say there are not accidents, but we are certianly understanding the concept of using the potty and being a big boy. He also attended a couple of really fun birthday parties and had a trip to visit Grandpa & Grandma Bev. Daddy's birthday was also during November and Grandma came down to visit for that too. Not to mention Thanksgiving which was lots of fun, and everything went very smoothly.

Then there was the Christmas decorating. Owen was so very excited to see all the neat decorations, the tree, and we bought a new Lionel train for underneath of the tree. He has been enjoying it so much, and is much more understanding of the Christmas Holiday, and is extremely excited about it. I can tell we're going to have a lot of fun this season.
