This year we went to Hoffman Dairy Garden to find our pumpkin. There were lots of activities for Parker's age group, but the pumpkin selection wasn't great so I guess I will be getting our Pumpkin at the Grocery store this year. However we enjoyed feeding the sheep and goats, and seeing all the exotic animals they had there. They had a full size tiger which was stalking a man walking outside his cage. Tony took a video of it and posted it on YouTube. I found it a little disconcerting the amount of interest this tiger had in this man, and was glad that there were two cages keeping the tiger in.
It has been awhile so I will update you all on the latest in the Abbott family. Parker has already had his first ear infection, and I have been battling a cold these first few weeks of the term. On a better note I have lost 20 pounds, and have been working out on a regular basis. I am hoping to be at pre-pregnancy weight by his 2nd Birthday. It will be close, but it can be done. No Halloween Candy for me. :(
Parker is becoming more of a little boy and less of a baby each day. Sometimes it makes me sad, but mostly I am just amazed at how far we have come. He can count to 5 by himself, and is starting to work on his ABC's at daycare. We have started working on the potty training, but we are a ways out from that. He was doing pretty good for a few days, and now doesn't want anything to do with it. He will say he wants to go, but as soon as we go in there he just wants to run around without his diaper. So we are taking a break, and know that when he is ready he will tell us.
Hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween. We will post all the pictures for Halloween and the Pumpkin Patch after this weekend. Take care.
