When we got to the farm, there was a wagon sitting out and Joey was all over it! He began to pull the empty wagon all around and pointed out every pile of pumpkins he saw. As we added pumpkin after pumpkin to the wagon, Joey continued to pull despite the heavy load. If I even spoke the words that I could help him when the wagon got stuck he immediately put his hand up and said "I do it!"
The only way I could get him to let me pull it was to suggest he ride on the wagon. So as we walked around looking at the Halloween/Fall items in the store, I used one hand to push Carlee in the stroller and the other to pull 4 pumpkins and Joey in the wagon! We purchased the pumpkins and some pumpkin paint so Joey could paint the little pumpkins. Then, as a way to transition from the beloved wagon onto something just as cool, we sat outside and drank apple cider.
Here's Joey drinking from a big boy cup (a recent skill that he has learned) and smiling his big "cheeeeeese" at the table.
While we were drinking our "aabull cider" Carlee decided to take a little snooze, so we even had time for Joey to play on the playground.
Once we got home, the fun continued as Joey painted his little pumpkins - one for him and one for Carlee. As he was painting he would say "green Caree's punkee," "green Joey's punkee." He's very good about sharing and making everything equal!!
After we painted the little pumpkins it was time to decorate the big pumpkins with the character's Aunt Coleen gave the kids. We made Dracula for Joey and a witch for Carlee.
We had such a great time getting ready for Halloween. Our punkees are out on the front porch and ready for the trick-or-treaters! It is so much fun this year with Joey understanding more and able to participate in holidays!!
