October 2010 – Emmerson's Journey

Emmerson Turtle!

Emmerson wanted nothing more than to be a turtle for Halloween. We repurposed his hat from last year and he was the happiest turtle in the world.

When we went trick-or-treat this is what he did at every house!

Halloween Fun…

Daddy made yummy pancakes.

On your mark, get set…GO

DONE!

The pumpkins we carved. I wanted nothing to do with gutting them. I picked the owl and the bat!

My First Gymnastics Class

Today I started gymnastics in the under 5 homeschool class. I was the youngest by about a year. I was NO HAPPY at first but I warmed up to the class quickly.

I loved the balance beam.

So good!

Upside down and rocking.

See how well I sit and pay attention! Mommy was so impressed. But I have been ready for gymnastics for a while. I just needed to be potty trained.

And my final move… a basket hang… all my myself on my first day! Mommy said there may actually be an athlete in the house!

NC Arboretum

Checking out the quilt garden. So pretty.

Down at the bottom getting a better view.

Having a great day out with the family.

Off we go, this time with maps, to hike in the woods.

Two minutes into the hike I told Mommy I had to go pee. She said “pee in your pull up because we are not going to find a bathroom”. I refused to do so and made it through the entire hike and all the way back to the building to use the potty. I guess I am pretty much done with the potty training stuff!
