Yes yes, it is almost time for Engineer Peanut to set out upon the land and conquer it for candy. But before then, we need to paint one of his toenails, let him draw impressive drawings of himself, and pick out some happy/weird/spooky carvings for us to carve. He thought the inside of the pumpkins were icky :)
Also, he asked if he could lay down on the ceiling, and has been playing "underpowered train" almost nonstop.
Just a quick update!

October:
His vocabulary increases, stringing together sentences
Still loving Winnie the Pooh. Curious George becomes big.
Eating a greater variety of food
Making new friends at school
Leaves are fun to play in
Some illness but sleeping well
That's a pretty good synopsis of October I think.
So yeah, I haven't been good about updating. Part of it was I wanted to do a good update. And then failed to do so, so I left it sit. I need to become ok with just any kind of update. I did though update a million videos to my youtube account though, so enjoy those.
We've been getting new windows on the house, hopefully this winter we can stay toasty warm without space heaters and covering up the windows. Peanut enjoys checking out what the contractor is doing, checking out all the 'new wiiindows!' etc. Today we took another step into more imaginative play with trains. One of his naptime videos has a segment where one of the power units die and we watch it work slowly up the hill till it comes to a spot it can stop. Peanut's been replaying this scene for most of the day, super cute. "Underpowered train can't go" "here comes helper train" "train more power" "there goes helper train" and "train go fast now."
Peanut's 3rd birthday has come and gone. On the whole it was a terrific experience. Peanut loved having all his family here, and all the Winnie the Pooh fun and games. And then of course he had a complete blast on the train ride. I really wish I had written a recap earlier so I could remember all the details. But oh well.
Peanut slept poorly the night before his birthday. So he went to school, where they did birthday stuff for him, and Mr Veggie went to pick him up, and drove him around so he'd nap. Everyone showed up in the meantime, and we watched videos of Peanut while we waited. They got back and we snuggled, then went to help Pooh out of the honey tree. Then we went in and had a yummy lunch, pizza, mac and cheese and vegetable soup. Then, gasp, Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's hole/door, so Peanut bravely went out and we all helped rescue him, after declaring that no one was to feed the bear with the sign.
Then we headed back in (with some difficulty as he wanted to replay the scene over and over. But we did it, and we ... opened presents? I think so. Lot's of awesome gifts, then we played Pin the Tail on Eeyore. Then Winnie the Pooh cupcakes!
We played a bit and slowly got ready to head out to Pooh Stick Bridge. He loved playing this sooooo much. We took a walk around the island, and played at the playground. Then my family headed home and we went home with Mr Veggie's family. We played, popped Piglet's balloon and put it in a useful pot, and had a video chat with more of his family. He was a happy boy, playing with all his new toys.
