Another fall festival

Today, we went to yet another fall festival. Sam had a blast! They had pick-up ducks, golf, go fish, bean bag toss, balloon darts, a "jumpy thing" (moon walk), a big slide and pony rides. I had to walk with Sam the first time she rode the pony ride. She told the pony to "Gitty Up!" She was a big girl and rode all by herself the second time! Here are some pictures.

Pumpkin Patch

I took Sam to the Pumpkin Patch today. She had fun. We also stopped and took pictures at the fall display on the square. Here are a few pictures of the day.

Why?

Yesterday I noticed Sam was beginning to ask more questions than she usually does. Today, she entered a stage that I was not look forward to her entering. Her new question is, "Why?" No matter what I say to her, her reply is, "why?" When I tell her why, she again says "why?" I knew this stage had to come, but I was not looking forward to it.

Growing so big.

Sam was playing with her foam letters today, and she divided them into 5 groups according to color. We have been working on this, but today she did it all by herself.

When can I say that Sam is completely potty trained? We wear panties everyday. She still wears a pull up at nap and bed time, but she wakes up dry a lot of the time. We wore panties out to eat last night and did not have an accident. That was the first time I've been brave enough try. I am so proud of her. She still will have accidents, but it is usually not more than one a day. I cannot wait until she is completely potty trained.
