This picture was taken at the Aw Shucks Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch. We went this past weekend. There was a general store with snacks, a hayride, a hay bale "maze" for the kids to climb, two corn mazes, a pumpkin patch, and a mini-log cabin. The kids had so much fun running, climbing, and rocking in chairs on the porch of the cabin. In between the two corn mazes there was a path through the woods. Along the path was an outhouse looking building. We stopped to take pictures and this was one of Leah peeking out of the hole in the door.
Yesterday was my first day at work. It was a teacher workday, so I didn't meet my students yet. But the person who had my job before me kind of left things in a disarray. Things were incomplete and disorganized. So I spent yesterday organizing and finishing. Today will be the day I meet some of the kids (I have different ones on different days) and get to know what they are capable of. I have 5th-9th graders. It will be interesting and fun to work with these older kids, Maybe it will push me to work with them when I go back full-time one day.
Just a word to tell you how amazing my daughter is. :) Today she was talking about bananas. The conversation went like this:
Leah: Nanas?
Me: No baby, there are no more bananas.
Leah: Daddy?
Me: Yes, Daddy ate all the bananas.
Leah: Mommy eat?
Me: Yes, sometimes Mommy eats bananas too.
Leah: Mommy eat nanas.
Three word sentence!!!! The kid is brilliant! She is getting to know colors a little too. She can pick blue out anywhere (just like her momma). The other colors get called out randomly until she lands on the right one. If I say "One," she will say "Two, Tee." She can climb up the 3 ft wall with holes in it at the playground with minimal help (we remind her to look at her feet and put them in the holes). She interacts with the TV now, saying yes, no, map, and backpack to Dora when they ask the kids to call it out. I love watching her do and say things everyday because you never know what will come out of her mouth. Those of you who haven't seen her in a while, wait til you do! You will not believe how much of a little girl she is now.
P.S. Right as I finished this entry, Leah said "Poo poo?" (I think everything is a question) I put her on the potty and we read her monkey book. I couldn't see anything in the potty while she was sitting on it, but when she got up, I saw she had peed! She apparently knew something was going on down there. :)

I was just "flicking" through on the "next blog" button.. When I saw the photo of your daughter and had to stop and say "aww cute" then I carried on reading!
Shes lovely.. you must be proud! I know that my daughter is so very differnt from my sons!
Good luck with your new job - and the potty training! I dread the thought of going through that again (with the new baby). We had a rough time mastering the "poo poo" part with my first daughter. She developed constipation, then a fear of going because of the pain. She was 3 and a half before she finally got over her fear.
Wait a minute! I thought you didn't like bananas! :) That's so cute that she's talking and interacting so much. I can't wait to see her in December!
