Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

Dear Jordan,

We have had quite a week!  It's that time of year where I just can't stop thinking of fun things for us to do together.  We have gone to Pumpkinville, the Tiger Safari, and TG Farms.  And Saturday night we carved pumpkins.  You didn't carve yours, but we let you paint yours.  You were very serious about it for about five minutes and then you were ready to move on to the knives!  I tried to carve you an Elmo pumpkin, but it turned out to look like a very angry Elmo.  Oh well!  I tried!

This morning, we went to TG Farms with a bunch of mommy's friends and their kids.  You had a blast!  You are such a daredevil.  They have a big haystack with a slide at the top.  The first time down you went head first.  Collin was sitting on your legs the whole way down and the extra weight made you hit the dirt at the bottom face first.  But you just got up, laughed, and kept climbing!  You also really enjoyed the cows.  You recently learned how to say "moo" so you repeated that over and over while you fed them straw.  It is so fun to watch you learn and play.  It's fun to go to the same places we did last year and know how much you have changed in a very, short year!

One of my favorite things is how much you love church.  You walk in like you own the place.  Every time we go down the hall, you insist on stopping at the water fountain.  If we pass a speaker in the ceiling, you stop and dance.  And you always have to stop by and give hugs to Grandma Nietzie!  If we don't leave you in your class for a long time, you completely ignore us when we come to get you.  If you're not doing anything, you run and grab a toy, as if that's going to get us to leave you there longer!  I love how social you are.  It's easier for me, but it just makes a mama's heart happy to know that you are having fun with your friends.  I am able to go worship and listen to God's Word without worrying if you are happy. 

I picked you up yesterday from your class and Miss Elise was holding you.  I said "Hey Baby-cakes!" and you put your finger to your mouth and shushed me.  I have no idea where you learned that from but it certainly made me laugh! I guess you were embarrassed by me calling you that.

Another hilarious thing that you do is you feel like you need to bring something every time we leave the house.  Today, when we left for the pumpkin patch, you wanted to bring your dirty pajama top.  The other day, you took the car keys and tried to start your top car with them.  It's pretty funny to see what you choose to bring and the car is always full of toys!

I think I'd better go.  You kind of stink and you just climbed up in my laugh.  You really enjoy getting right up in my face.  Plus, it's about nap time!

I love you, little pumpkin!
